While yes, as stated in the other reviews this CD contains the classic hits that made Ub40 so popular, I was highly disappointed that the "editors" butchered up the music in the worst way. In particular they cut out the best part of "Red Red Wine". I would much rather have fewer songs than the mutilated versions contained here.

I listened to this group years ago. Heard one of the songs recently and had to bet the whole CD. Love it. Thanks

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!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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...

I've been a fan of UB40 since the early 80's when Present Arms came out. If your gonna buy one UB40 album thats the one to get
it may not have "the hits" but it is by far their best work, altho Who You Fighting For comes in a close second. But if you are
looking for a greatest hits album pick up The Very Best of UB40 its got a much better song selection and flows much better then this
album. Also if your a fan of this type of music check out a fairly new group called Fat Freddy's Drop their first album "Based on a True Story" is just as good as some of the UB's best work.

Amazing what a Reggae touch can do to some older songs.
I could listen to this CD for hours!

Loved it..I actually bought this as a gift for a friends 40th bday...she thought it was funny but then said the cd was awsome and it was the best gift she got....I got it really quick too. and it was in exclenet shape..

This a is a great CD if you like UB40 which I do.
Thanks,

If you like UB40 you'll love this CD. Its pure enjoyment; every track. Makes you feel like you should be in the Caribbean.
