5.0 out of 5 stars A REDUNDANT CD MUST TO HAVE FOR ALL NEW FANS, October 9, 2008

By	Julio Marchena "UB40 fan" (Lima, Perú) - See all my reviews

I agree with the above opinion. This CD is quite similar with others like The Very Best of UB40 and The Best of UB40 Vol I & II. I think this is a try of the record label to get more money from the boys and yes they will achieve their goal...

2.0 out of 5 stars A great value, with more filler...., July 23, 2009

First of all, on a positive note, it is great to see most of UB40s hits available on one convenient collection, but most of the music on here is pretty much the same old hits, with more filler than before. Secondly, they should have included versions heard on the radio (i.e. single versions, single remixes, etc) in this collection. It is such a shame see a great collection with a lot of potential with album versions, strange edits, and a lot of filler. This is a great collection for any fan of UB40, to replace scratched CDs, or a great compilation for those who are starting to collect records.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best CDs I own!, July 7, 2009

I hate when I spend $15 on a CD containing about 20 tracks and only 3 or 4 tracks are good tracks. THIS CD on the other hand has HIT after HIT! You will not waste your money buying this CD. You will never be bored with this CD. It's very soothing. Ali campbell is such a great artist and singer. I love watching him perform on youtube. Anyways, these hits will take you back to a time when music was art. Long live Unemployment Benefits form 40!!!!!!!!!!
