Wish you never broke up..But still luv yas no matter what..NZ loves you nd you can guarantee Kiwis still rock ur music hard out..Even our younger generation. Reggae is apart of our culture..Luv U xox
@brockneyc It looks simular Im from Birmingham, one way to check would be to watch the video to SL2 On the Ragga Tip as that was filmed outside Don Christies.
Nice to see a proper boozer.Playin pool havin a burn and a few jars with your mates with a jukie blarin away in the backround talkin about music footie an birds.There all dissapearin now...
It's funny to think that once upon a time UB40 were considered every bit as cool as the 2 Tone acts like The Specials and The Beat. I'd actually go so far to say Signing Off and Present Arms are superior to any of the 2 Tone output.
UB4O look GREAT in this promo. I lost interest after Geoffrey Morgan ('84) and Rat In The Kitchen ('86)
yeah, not bad for a bunch of unemployed bums (solution; learn some musical instruments and become the biggest reggae band the world has ever known - easy!)
I have a weakness for the Beat, but for sheer volume of original stuff that took the genre in new directions, .. no contest, the crown goes to UB40.
its funny and its very fucking clever if you now what i mean so hear goes so many words so little meaning so who is out there to defend the vouice of the little man not me but is it you
This my joint right here...I'm looking for an upload of You Could Meet Somebody and The Elevator...would love to have those featured...keep up the fine form...
What a marvellous display of black & white Christian unity?! These were hard times, but harder ones are on their way. Perhaps a whole new generation of representative bands will get together as a result?
I really want to cover this song aye! I'm trying to get someone to make the beat for me on fruity loops, we don't have a very good drummer so yeah we can't record ourselves that way...It's my fave UB Song though
got to agree, prob the best they ever did. got to comercial after present arms so kinda went off them for a while,but in my opinion the best band ever.seen them three times in the early eighties.preston manchester and liverpool

May I recommend the book 'A Concise Guide To Eighties Music' by Karl Vorderman. The author is a big fan of this track.
