Album Reviews: CMJ (1/5/04, p.16) - Ranked #15 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1985"
Advantages: must for your collection Disadvantages: listening to "Red Red Wine"
...I have followed UB40 since i first heard the single "Food for Thought" and i been a fan ever since.
The best of UB40 is a brilliant Album and i think their best one.
It has some great tracks on it especially all the early stuff, which in my opinion is when they were at there best..
It has singles on it like "King",....."1 in 10"....."Food for Thought",...
..."Rat in my kitchen"......"..."Dont Break my Heart" and "Red Red Wine" which is the only UB40 record i really dont like, i think they sold out a bit when they made that record.
But saying that the lads from Brum are a top class act and if you are fan you got to have this Album in your collection.
UB40 has a percussion section which is rare nowdays and the Cambell brothers have a very distictive vocals....

Advantages: excellent performance..flawless Disadvantages: not being close enough to the front
...Being a fan of UB40 since 1984 I thought it was about time I actually went to see them live.
I went last year (1999) to see them play at their sell out tour (the NEC in Brum)
Being local Brummie lads, the crowd for the nec leg of their tour is always a top crowd. Birmingham are proud of the UB's and rightly so.
A group of local lads, who had nothing, but their love of reggae music, and their unemployment benefit made good.
They are still great performers, playing a mix of their old classics like
King
Tyler
red red wine
to some of their new stuff from the new labour of love III album.
The whole arena was standing, singing, dancing along, the atmosphere was amazing (and i was wondering why id never been to see them before now!)
The crowd were a mix of old and young, like me at 29 who grew up on UB40 to the younger 17 and 18...

Advantages: An excellent listen Disadvantages: None
...I am totally obsessed with UB40 and own nearly all of there albums, this being one of them, if you like reggae and rap this is definately for you. It has a mixture of all their original songs, like red wine and chrieo baby, all the songs are excellent some of them are of UB40 tunes with UB40 rapping over them, I know it sounds tacky but the way it is done is so good, you really need to listen to it, although if you do not own it you may have a job trying to get old of it as I do not think they are sold anymore. Again I can't rave enough about this tape I have even just put it on to listen to. Brings back some memories. One of the best is the song If it happens again with rapping over it....
