Review - Album Details :

Ub40's First Recordings Arrived at the Height of the Diy Movement in Postpunk England, When Independent Labels Flourished. Many of the Songs on this Collection Later Appeared on their First Album "Signing Off", but this Unique Disc Compiles the Tracks of the Singles that Lead to that Release. Included is the Single Versions of "The Earth Dies Screaming", "Dream a Lie", "Tyler" and "King". Unlike Madness and the Ska Revivalists, Ub40 Not Only Represented Integration of the Members, but a Commitment to a Genuine Reggae Ethic, with a Healthy Dose O' Dub Thrown in for Good Measure.

- Not your traditional UB40

I purchased this on vinyl years ago and have since lost the recording. It was my first UB40 purchase I could afford and the one I have sought out today. This isn't the Pop version of UB40 like the over-played Red Red Wine, this is the roots version with thoughtful songs and complicated music. Truly, if you are to purchase one CD to add to a great collection, this is a MUST HAVE.
