The Very Best of UB40 1980-2000

THE VERY BEST OF UB40 1980 - 2000, album released 2000.
Encoded 192Kbps mp3. Covers included.

Named after a British unemployment benefit form, pop-reggae band UB40 was formed in a welfare line in 1978, and its multiracial lineup reflected the working-class community its members came from. The band consolidated its street credibility with political topics appealing to dissatisfied youth and got a boost from fans of the waning 2-Tone ska-revival movement. Brothers Robin (lead guitar) and Ali Campbell (guitar, lead vocals) formed the centerpiece of the group, which also included bassist Earl Falconer, keyboardist Mickey Virtue, saxophonist Brian Travers, drummer Jim Brown, percussionist Norman Hassan, and toaster Terence Astro Wilson. The band purchased its first instruments with compensation money Ali Campbell received after a bar fight, even though few of the members knew how to play them.

The tracks suffixed with a [V] signifies that these songs are covered by a video, which I have upped as a separate torrent. The video package also includes 6 other songs. (UB40 - The Videos x11 [mpeg SkidVid] )
