Biography

There used to be a joke that UB40 stood for the "Unemployed Birmingham 40", because there were so many band members in their videos, and none of them looked exactly sharp-suited. In fact the pop-reggae band did name themselves after an unemployment benefit form, though there was never 40 members - only eight, plus guests. They formed in 1979 and made a breakthrough when their debut single,… Read more in Amazon's UB 40 Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Re: UB40 Labor of Love II, December 3, 1999
If there is, or ever was a great album by UB40, it is definetly this one. This album is covered from top to bottom, song to song with great reagge music. I have had the great privilege of having this album in my collection since 1990. Since then because of my raves and reviews of this album; the majority of my family members own this album mainly because of me, and the good works of UB40. UB40 is an exceptional band, one of the greatest bands to ever emerge out of Great Britian, besides Aswad, with such roots in reagge. UB40 continues to show us this year after year with their longevity in producing good reagge music. Other good albums by UB40 are: The Best of UB40 Vol 1&2, Labor of Love I, Promises and Lies. Do not pass up an oppurtunity to own one of these great albums by UB40. I only comment on the best of the best, and UB40 indeed that most definitly includes you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy the full length Labour of Love II album from England, October 30, 2001
By A Customer
I gave this one a 4 because its great, but IT'S MISSING 4 TRACKS which are one of the best on the album. You can't get them on the American release. It's worth paying more to get the import Labour of Love II. Look under IMPORTS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groovin', April 3, 2001
By Ted Corlis (Santa Cruz, CA) - See all my reviews
Most of the Reggae purists will point to UB40's earliest works as their best. They may be right in a strictly Reggae forum. I don't suppose this album has the spiritual activist weight of much true Reggae. That being said, I love this CD. Ali Cambell has such unique vocal qualities and the horns are a great touch. Of all UB40's albums, this is my favorite. It takes a long time to get old and, if you put it away for a few weeks, it's brand new again. Groovin' is my favorite track, puts me in a good mood every time:)
