5.0 out of 5 stars UB 40 - Best band ever! Ali Campbell is my favorite., November 14, 2010

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

I simply LOVE UB 40. Their reggae band is more than excellent. They have been my heroes since I bought Labor of Love 1 and 2. I also have a VHS which shows the band in a castle in France during recording of Labor of Love. It is simply a wonderful VHS. Does anybody know IF this video recording is available in a DVD form?
Kingston Town is absolutely superb and most of the band's other songs make my heart feel so, so very good - I could listen to their songs all the time. They also make me think of some wonderful place where one could be dancing in the warm sand, watching the marvelous ocean and feel so much alive - and kicking!! Thank you, UB 40 for giving your fans such a fabulous time.
Please let us hear more from you - and allow us to buy the wonderful video recording of "Labor of Love" in DVD. I don't use MP3 and I don't see this video-recording available in DVD anywhere. I love you all, UB 40 band members - even though Ali Campbell is my absolute Number ONE.

I love this CD and I'm playing it to death! It makes me feel like I'm dancing on the beach in the Caribbean with the sun slowly slipping into the ocean. I can feel the sand between my toes as my body sways to the sensual, sexy and fun loving reggae beat. I just can't get enough. I always want more!

From a caribbean jenie! Wink, wink!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection!, December 26, 2002

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

This is a great cd full of great tracks. "The Best of UB40, Vol. 1" and "The Best of UB40, Vol. 2" were good collections but this one offers almost all of their best in just one cd. I don't like all the tracks in this collection but I think 14 good tracks are enough for 5 stars.
