1 Tyler - The UB40 File Extended Version

Track 1 from The UB40 File album. The excellent UB40 at their early and politically aware best. Not saying their later stuff was not good, just not quite this good. Hang around for the amazing dub section from 4:01 onwards

@Beelzebubbbbles Thanks for the info.

@Caxton1488 That's quite a leap you've made. They accuse a particular jury of being racist, and from that you conclude that they believe all whites are racist. Including most of the band, and in particular the bloke who wrote the song?

There have been dreadful convictions of innocent people before this, and after this. Did Dylan get the same abuse for writing 'Hurricane'? In the early days UB40 wrote about things that bothered them, I expect this case was fresh was in their minds.

@MyRorio Tyler, not Taylor. UB40 confronted many of the UK's social injustices, on this album and on the next few. That they didn't deal specifically with SUS is moot - by the time this album was released the law was being repealed. It was back again in 2007, in a different form.

@Caxton1488 the one singing is white, most of the band is, if you have no knowledge, do not speak. Certainly not with words wich you've never seen before.

"Racist Jury"..So according to these cunts all Whites are "racist"....Can anyone say race traitors?????????????????

[MyRorio]

Yo UB40,forget Taylor you should have fought against the "sus law" in your own country where thousands of blacks and foreigners got jailed for doing fuck all ,included me framed by the CID and the BTP.
