- Is it live?

Sure it's live. Taped in Ireland "I think" this is the best live LP around at least I thik so.Not bad for some boys who couldn't hold a job so they formed a band,

- Memories of Montreal - remember the 80's? Hell yeh VH1

Discovered this when I was surfing around on Itunes, downloaded and LOVE it. Saw UB40 in Montreal in the 80's in a nice small club and own lots of the earlier albums. Sardonicus, One in Ten..this brings it all back. Get it if you can.

- Fabulous live versions of some of UB40's classic early work!

This is really a great disc to add to your collection for any UB40 fans, regardless of how loyal. First released on vinyl in 1983, this album was recorded live at a concert in England, but you would never know - the performances are flawless. This disc clearly shows the true musical talents of UB40. This live album is far superior to most bands' studio releases.

- UB40 at their best

I first bought this album in the early 80s and I played it to death. I've been very dissappointed with later UB40 albums.

To my mind this album is how UB40 should sound. I still experience a thrill every time I hear the beginning to "Present arms".

"Sardonicus" just cooks, great intro and just it bubbles alongs.

At a matter of fact, all the songs (with the exception of Love Is All Is Alright & Don't Slow Down , which is are bit limp) on this album are very good.

If you like trippy sounding ska with a slight dub flavour, I'm confident that you will like this album.
