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 Great covers that don't get stale, April 10, 2004
By "doctor_rock" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
I agree with the UB40 purists that UB40's covers are not as fundamental as Signing Off etc., but I was surprised at how this triple album boxed set did not fade easily. I copied the lot to my Mac Powerbook for a ten day working trip to Venezuela and have played the entire set 10 times over! That says a lot as I have plenty of other choices on the hard drive. My favorites are Holly Holy, Guilty, My Best Girl, Please don't Make me Cry, The Way you do thye things you do, The train is coming, Blood and Fire and Stay a little bit longer. Why? Well the driving beat on a good pair of headphones, the rythyms, the sheer variety from ballad to reggae pop, 8 Brummies all doing their thing, taking turns to shine.

UB40 is an enigma, a piece of Jamaica that is not entirely Jamaican, a true slice of cosmopiltan Birmingham. 25 years and still going strong - how many 8 piece bands can boast that?

4.0 out of 5 stars UB40's Best, June 15, 2009
LABOUR OF LOVE I, II & III is a great way to have some of the best of UB40's covers.
As usual, the band delivers the goods.

4.0 out of 5 stars UB40 Set, August 27, 2008
Although LAbour of Love 2 is my all time favorite the other two discs did not disappoint either. Definately a good buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars "REMASTERED POORLY"
These albums are much better in their original recordings. It seems that the "remastering" consists of adding a VERY HEAVY bass beat that was not there in the original. Read more
