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 A UB40 album that never got its due . . ., November 26, 2002
By H. F Merritt "howmer1" (Plainville, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Geffery Morgan" was the follow-up to UB40's breakthrough album "Labour of Love". It had favorable sales, but I think it was a disappointment to those buyers looking for another "Red Red Wine". As such, its been sort of an overlooked release, sandwiched between UB40's purer reggae/dub releases earlier in their career and the less-adventurous radio-friendly "reggae karaoke" they seem to be into these days. But "Geffery Morgan" is one of the great UB40 albums, with some of the best original material they ever did. The opening trio of tunes, "Riddle Me", "As Always You Were Wrong Again" and "If It Happens Again" are incredibly strong, and set the tone of quality for the rest of the album. Other highlights include the beautiful "Seasons", the jazzy experimental "the Pillow", the superb "I'm Not Fooled So Easily", and one of their great closers "You Eyes Were Open". This is truly UB40's transitional album. While the reggae groove is still strong, in many songs ("Riddle Me", "You're Not An Army") you can sense their movement to the mainstream. Note that their next U.S. release, "Little Baggariddim" featured their Top 40 remake of "I Got You Babe", followed by the "Rat In The Kitchen" album, full of watered-down reggae hits. If you're looking for the last, best representation of UB40 as accessable but authentic REGGAE BAND, this album is highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recently bought, what a surprise!, October 20, 2004
It's incredible, UB40 never finishes to surprise me. Last week I bought this album, basically motivated for a presentation alive of "Riddle Me" and "You Are Not An Army" I could watch.
What a nice time I got when listen to for first time "As Always You Were Wrong Again" and "I'm Not Fooled So Easily", really good songs touched with the base line of Earl "Mr. Boostman" Falconer. The lyrics are surrounded of politics that reflects the discomfort they felt with Madam Medussas's goverment and the circustances of the time.
39:34 minutes of deep Reggae, DUB and Ska with the incomparable UB40 styleeeeee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geffery Morgan - one of the BEST UB40 albums....classic, November 24, 2008
Wow! This takes me back to the mid-80's when I wore out a copy on cassette. A classic by a great reggae band with a twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite UB40 album
I agree with other reviewers that this is a great album that gets overlooked. I have "Riddle Me" and "I'm Not Fooled" on 12" long play vinyl singles. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Another UB40
Fans of UB40 may realize the word "UB40" itself should be a type of reggae because of the band's uniqueness. Read more
