The first album, complete with the contents of the free ep record that was slipped in with the original LP.pA reminder of what a great band this was before it became the Reggae equivalent of Status Quo.pFabulous songs beautifully presented. All that lush saxaphone riffing and passion.pA mighty rhythm machine. The only UB40 album you need.
UB40 at their best April 28, 2001

This is my favourite UB40 album, it sounds as though they're playing in your living room, very rootsy and Earl on Bass in pumping it very loudly. I truely believe that this album ranks alongside all-time reggae classics from Marley, Dennis Brown. This album opened up the way for a lot of artists in the UK to follow suite. Ali's voice sounds excellent and the band as a whole sound raw and full of genuine energy. There are so many highlights on this album (every instrumental for instance), but if I was forced to pick just one, it would have to be the fantastic King - a moving tribute to Martin Luthur King.

before they settled into a blander niche, ub40 were a mighty british reggae band with the avowed intention of bringing dub into the charts and the mainstream. how they succeeded! tyler, king, food for thought and burden of shame were heartfelt political statements of their time set to infectious grooves,weird echoey dubs and ali`s unique vocals. the standout track has to be "madam medusa" which is the finest anti-thatcher record ever(they encored with it at glastonbury 1983 a few days after the tories election victory, introducing it as more relevant than ever), almost 13 minutes long with one of the longest and most atmospheric dubs ever committed to record- simply outstanding and worth the price of the cd on it`s own. signing off is simply one of the finest reggae albums ever made,totally unique and never bettered- buy it.

this was UB40's first album and to me still the best. Full of their original style music any fan has to have this in their collection. I have followed this bands career and have so much respect for them, from being unemployed to their present status in reggae music any fan must feel the same. Every song in this album has a meaning and its not hard to understand with such excellent lyrics that can only be sung in Ali's unique way. This album set UB40 off on a highly successful carrier that they deserved, this album like much of the music that inspired them is now part of my life and will always bring back good memories of my younger years. Never got to meet the band unfortunately but you never know. thanks lads, good luck for the future...

I can't belive nobody has reviewed this album.I am honoured to be the first person on this site to let everybody know this is one of the greatest albums to be recorded by a british group.This album is original and a must to anybody that respects people who make their own music for the love of it.UB40 are not a manufactured band,they are a bunch of guys who are representing the music they grew up on,and this album shares that with us.This album is a classic,and i belive should be respected just as much as any Beatles or Rolling Stones album.MAXIMUM RESPECT TO UB40!
