i have a copy with the same label on both sides? A really nice pleasure to listen to. Guess they called the LP "Signing Off" because they no longer needed to claim and were on their way to making money as a band.

This record has absolutely been one of my favorite records for decades.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. 6 in the UK charts. Just bought a second hand copy of this classic. A highly underrated group that gave so much back to Jamaica taking a lot less and giving a lot more than many from Jamaican songwriters and originators.

Their early-'80s update of rocksteady and reggae music was somewhat akin to the contemporary offerings of other Jamacian revivalists like the Specials and the English Beat, but it had more of an authentic reggae sound than what was being offered by the others -- albeit with some traditional pop song structure.

I picked up my first copy in the mid 80s.

The discography of UB40, a British reggae band, consists of twenty studio albums, seventeen compilation albums, seven live albums, two remix albums, sixty-two singles and a number of appearances with other artists.. UB40's later albums rarely equaled the strength of their singles, even as their later singles lost much of the bite and creativity of their predecessors. Find UB40 discography, albums and singles on AllMusic. Most excellent album unusually released as both 33 and 45 rpm 12 inch disks. Massively underappreciated.. UB40 have sold over 70 million records world…

"Fruit" was one of the trio of songs on the aforementioned 12", along with the driving instrumental "Reefer Madness", and the epic "Madam Medusa", where the mythological Medusa stalks the roots-reggae groove across the 12+ minute track. This fine collection recalls the band's halcyon days of 1980-'82 with a handful of highlights from Signing Off and a few tracks from the EP The Earth Dies Screaming.

In all that they succeeded brilliantly. Great reggae tunes very cleverly mixed in stereo with the instruments well placed on the sound stage. In 1989, "Where Did I Go Wrong" was covered on Bosnian language by Dino Merlin's former Bosnian group Merlin, with lyrics "Mjesečina", from their fourth studio album Nešto lijepo treba da se desi. A reggae band formed 1978 in Birmingham, UK.

So far removed is the group's earliest work from their later sound that even the most culturally minded of reggae fans will want this record in their collection. Now this is what we want: most of UB40's debut album Signing Off, plus the 12" single that was included with initial copies of the set, coupled with their first three double A-sided singles. On this page you can download UB40 albums and mp3 songs compilations for free without registration UB40 was the first indication that the band was abandoning the political inclinations of their earlier work and concentrating solely on pop-reggae. If you were able to work but had no job you continued to "sign on" each fortnight (to declare you had not been working and were entitled to your payment). There is only one good UB40 album and this is it. It slams!! Many of their hits have been stylishly covers of early reggae and rocksteady hits from Jamaica. Of course, pop informed all of their albums since Labour of Love, but on UB40, the group concentrates solely on the grooves, from the instrumental "Dance with the Devil" to a sultry cover of "Breakfast in Bed," featuring Chrissie Hynde on vocals.

It is the second most commercial successful reggae band with +70 million sold albums. Superbly mixed. Once you found work, you "signed off" and handed in your UB40. Multiracial reggae band from the West Midlands who had several crossover hits in the 1980s and '90s with cover versions of '60s pop songs. I agree with.

They usually have a Gem Imports sticker on them here in the US. To me it feels like they had one good album in them, the debut, the one all bands take a lifetime to write before it is committed to vinyl, from Tyler to Signing off it emits quality and reeks of authenticity (there’s the accompanying 12″ as well with ‘Madam Medusa’, ‘Strange Fruit’ and ‘Reefer Madness’). I disagree that this was the only UB40 worth a listen, however it is the best of the bunch. I have a release of this album from India Stereo 2392536. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart, and has also achieved considerable international success. I first heard this album at a girlfriends house and it was way outside the sort of thing I was listening to at the time (think long haired teenager, very early eighties, knew all the lyrics to ‘Suppers Ready’ by Genesis). 6 in the UK charts.

On their full length, the band furthered their musical adventures with both vocal tracks and groove-filled instrumentals and dub. The UK pressing is a fantastic sounding piece of vinyl. This album contained the hit single "Breakfast in Bed" with Chrissie Hynde, which reached No. has anyone got a mislabel?

There is only one good UB40 album and this is it. Labour of Love is the fourth studio album by British reggae band UB40, and their first album of cover versions.Released in the UK on 12 September 1983, the album is best known for containing the song "Red Red Wine", a worldwide number-one single, but it also includes three further UK top 20 hits, "Please Don't Make Me Cry", "Many Rivers to Cross" and "Cherry Oh Baby". The band has sold over 70 million records worldwide. This album contained the hit single "Breakfast in Bed" with Chrissie Hynde, which reached No. After success in UK, UB40's won USA with Labour of Love (1983), their first album of covers.

As part of your claim you "signed on" (the unemployment register/dotted line) and were given a small UB40 booklet.

Easily the best UB40 album and a far cry from their later stuff. If all you know of UB40 is their later hits or Labour of Love series, UB40 will come as a revelation, commercially accessible, but roaring with militant fire, awash in creativity and honed with their desire to bring reggae into a new musical world of their own invention. I first heard this album at a girlfriends house and it was way outside the sort of thing I was listening to at the time (think long haired teenager, very early eighties, knew all the lyrics to ‘Suppers Ready’ by Genesis). Their biggest hits include "Red Red Wine" (1983), "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You" (1993) and "I Got You Babe" (1985). Thus, this set captures them at their most militant and experimental. UB40 is the eighth album by British reggae band UB40, released on the DEP International label in 1988.

The horrors of the American south obviously haunted the band, and they return to its magnolia scented climes for "Strange Fruit", a terrifying expose of lynching. The trio of singles -- "Food for Thought"/"King", "My Way of Thinking"/"I Think It's Going to Rain", and "The Earth Dies Screaming"/"Dream Is a Lie" -- reveal the inner workings of the group, as they play with styles, shifting back and forth from more Jamaica-fied sounds to almost breezy pop, winding into smokey jazz clubs, onto the dancefloor, and off into the dreamiest of milieus.

One of the best albums of that decade,happy to have it! Records come in black printed inner sleeves.

Of course, pop informed all of their albums since Labour of Love, but on UB40, the group concentrates solely on the grooves, from the instrumental "Dance with the Devil" to a sultry cover of "Breakfast in Bed," featuring Chrissie Hynde on vocals.

ub40 first album

October 8, 2020

"Signing Off" actually means to stop claiming what was then Unemployment Benefit in the UK. UB40 first came to prominence in England with their debut Signing Off and follow-up Present Arms.
