UB40 – The Very Best of UB40 1980-2000 CD

It’s hard to believe that UB40 have been around since the early 1980s, but the proof is right here in the 18 tracks on this album. While most famous for their cover songs, UB40 have written a good portion of original material that’s excellent. But songs like “Red Red Wine” and a previously unreleased version of the Doors’ “Light My Fire” will attract the majority of listeners to this collection. 

Following in the footsteps of greats like Bob Marley and Burning Spear, this band from Birmingham, England (led by the two sons of folkie Ian Campbell, have helped keep the flame of roots reggae alive with their easy sound. They’ve even made over rock standards into their reggae template, including Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You Babe” (with guest Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders). In their own little way, UB40 have been gnawing away at musical barriers for the last 20 years, and this is an ideal summary of their achievements.

Packaged in a Jewel Case.
