53 yrs old havent heard this version since i was in school in the very early 80s..just came across it...WOW...fair play banging it out right about now..one love all
I can still remember as a school kid in the late 70s going to my life long best friends house ( he is a white guy ) and he was playing a tape of UB40 on his Sony ‘Ghetto Blaster’ and I started jammin to the vibe and I knew this guy was gonna be my friend for life.. I was shocked that he listened to black music and reggae at that... He turned and told me the lead singer was “white” and I nearly fell off my chair... I’m proud to say I’ve seen UB40 sing live before they split... I’m Godfather to my friends 1st Daughter and he was my Best Man when I got married in Jamaica.... I remember going to sign on with my UB40 as a poor working class lad fighting the ‘System’ just like UB40 when they started out in Brum.........
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Kylo Damian I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Been listening to that angelic voice of Ali and support of the amazing and talented boys since my youth in the 80s. Man it makes me so nostalgic but happy that I'm still here and was able to turn my three beautiful children (21, 20, & 18) into life long fans of the UB40. I hope to hear this on my final day on earth...I'll go to sleep with a smile on my face. LITTLE BAGARIDDIM!!! ✌🏽& 1⃣ ♥️ to all of the UB fans still out here in almost 2021, pandemic style, WHERE YOU AT?!?! ☀️🏖 🎶 🏝 🎸🎧🎤😎😃
Still got this on vinyl ,, used to stick my head between the speakers of my old PYE Radiogram in my bedroom ,, and lose myself in it .... along with " earth dies screaming/dream a lie .. class 12" 's ,, still got the radiogram ... they got me into reggae , ska, dub .... priceless .............
+ian draper Just bought an old radiogram from the 70's. Looking to build a record collect 'Signing Off' and 'Present Arms' are top of my list (along with The Specials) You can't beat an old radiogram for 70's music and reggae/two tone.
Not with every song, but in many cases, I LOVE reggae, ska AND dub. I know the songs earth dies screaming and dream a lie well too. Great taste, ian draper!
thank god i was there in the day !! one of the best bands about when there were truly great bands around not like now !! u just had to listen to the lyrics to know they were special !! love them now as i did then !!
As a 14/ 15 yr old in the care system a got into ub40 and listen to them for hrs wondering what was to be .45yrs later im still listening like it was yesterday but with much water past under the bridge and a clearer rd ahead .Ali you have one hell of a voice and how many must be out there that has a story that goes with the first few Albums from day one ie Signing off labour of love ect .
All life, threads, are necessary in the fabric of life, "...we(e),...", can't allow to be torn asunder. An injustice to any is an injustice to all, and if it isn't addressed individually, it becomes a global injustice as well. "You can't struggle with the man's house (mansion) using the man's tools", Audrey Lourdes, "be the change you wish to see in the world", "the root of all oppression lies in (supposed) science", Gandhi. Remember, if responsibility isn't exercised, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither, like an unused muscle as well; now, sadly, because of self-possession, it needs to be exorcised before it's exercised. No one must be conned by the corporate structure's convolution, divide and conquer only works on the divided, life is indivisible, as your potential is illimitable. reality
they lost the plot after UB44, so even if they did get it sorted, dont mean they will get the Hunger and brilliance back that they had at the very beginning..... unfortunately.
I remember this cover, tho sure I had the 7 incher, (calm down girls) The 7 inchers I had usually were ex jukebox with a big hole in the middle. You'd buy spare centres so you could stack your singles like 5 high on your record player :/
"The mic toasting" what a beautiful expression I never heard it. What does it mean though? Is it toasting because the vocals are on fire? Or is it some type of singing-style? Is it a filter they use? Please explain! :-)
My introduction to reggae...spent many years looking for a replacement for my damaged copy...found it this week on holiday in Montpellier. JAH WILL PROVIDE.
so fb are considering experementing with a dislike button youtube should remove it surely you know what your looking for been listening to ub40 for 36 years ub40 till i die lol
I will probably be loving UB40 till I die too. I "discovered" them when I was either 10 or 12 - I even remember the very first UB40 song i ever heard and then how i was introduced to two of their albums. Never mind my age now, but I will probably always love them.
I first heard food for thought on radio 1. , Was already into specials , beat , selecter , at 13 years old I thought " who's that cool new ska band ??!!" So began a lifelong journey into reggae / dub 😎 I've still got nearly all their vinyl , but the early stuff is what puts a tingle up your spine ...

I saw UB40 play last year without Ali..........Then I saw Ali play without UB40.......... They need to sort out their differences and get back together.
Oh my God I would LOVE them to reunite so much. Sadly, I've only seen them in concert once, LOVED it, but I would LOVE them to reunite and I would SO be into that concert!
Doubtful they will reunite now. The Campbell brothers at odds ever since Ali didn't attend their father's funeral. Everyone has family issues the world over.

Ehi TheDeelo, very thanks for uploading this 'Pearl Of REGGAE-Music' by UB40: I love this band since 1980 first album called "SIGNING OFF". I've forgotten this pretty track... ;-) mm65
About 43 years ago the man in the record store I frequented said, I have something for you. A new reggae band from the UK. Have a listen. This was in Amsterdam, The Netherlands where we were slightly behind with import at that time. lol That was present arms in dub, ordered everything else they had made and never looked back. At that time I was probably the only person to walk around with a "boombox" as it was an old Phillips cassette recorder that ate 6 big batteries a day. Everyone that heard the tape was going, wtf who is this!!??
our father the most high,loves me 100%,goverment and police hate me 150%,i have no bank account,1 coulson close dagenham essex rm8 1ty,please help me fight back
My claim to be the first person to hear them as they were living in the same street as myself in Birmingham honestly troops Welshybhoy from castlmilk now in miserable Blackpool nowhere to go wen I have lost my love my family
Through my teens especially these were whi we played on our ghetto blssters getting drunk wuth the police and madness but its gutting that several are dead and theyre getting old probably a lot of em have lung problems due to smoking drinking and smoking blow
This group's first three albums plus their live album was a mix of them but after that the edge wore out on their political dagger as they went on an attention hunt by fans who have never or rarely play the first three albums,every time I say I like UB40,the always say "oh red red wine"I say " aye sure"through gritted teeth,this is were the real UB40 are,keep on listening people.god bless.
first album i ever bought was Signing off ,December 1980 i had just turned 16 , :) my bro 23 at the time who was also well into smoking weed was amazed that i had great fukin taste for a kid after listening to it stoned lol ! £1.99 if my memory serves me well
Hey hit Marley.... Big up to you .... You'll find stuff like this on ebay .... Usually pretty cheap ..... Get in before everyone re discovers the joy of vinyl !!!! 😉

Life was tough growing up in the 70-80's. UB40 was my go to.
Hope you came through it my friend. All the best to you.

So true. Mate of mine came back from the UK to Connecticut in 1981 with Signing Off. I was never the same. Damn, miss these sounds!
The baselines, vocals and Brian Travers sax are world class! Music from the masters of reggae!
As a 14/ 15 yr old in the care system a got into ub40 and listen to them for hrs wondering what was to be .45yrs later im still listening like it was yesterday but with much water past under the bridge and a clearer rd ahead .Ali you have one hell of a voice and how many must be out there that has a story that goes with the first few Albums from day one ie

2019, been listening to this for nearly 40 years, raw as ever...ub40...infectious.. Big love.
Ditto to that !! We need music now more than ever , thank the stars for oldskool vinyl , warms the heart 🥰
Bring back lots of fun memory sitting under the tree higher then the tree thank you lord to enjoying this in 50s
Got it in on now brummie bliss

They need to get back together and make another album; call it 'UB United'
Classic 12in. From the british masters of reggae!
but it wasn't on the original 12inch , shame,as its a good extended mix
This particular Ub40 song holds special memories for a special time,I'll never forget
true original ub40 style double a-side 12" - knocka fia
Still pumping in melbourne 2019 !
brothers xx need to get there act sorted
there is only one UB40
remember where you came from xxx
i refuse to back either, this is not the ub40 way
they lost the plot after UB44, so even if they did get it sorted, dont mean they will get the Hunger and brilliance back that they had at the very beginning..... unfortunately.
Ali and astro are the ones I support. Robin and Duncan are terrible on my opinion
Well said
This is an old school reggae from England thanks God for those good old days
My favorite UB40 track, absolutely love this... Extended too.
My favourite UB40 song. Its pure joy.
I remember this cover, tho sure I had the 7 incher, (calm down girls) The 7 inchers I had usually were ex jukebox with a big hole in the middle. You'd buy spare centres so you could stack your singles like 5 high on your record player :/

ali campbell is the number ONE

spliff an a rum and this tune, heaven
What can I say...a great band....and all their own music is the best....shame only known for covers!!!
Yes tourist,,,, toasting vocals are Astro . There's a wicked vid on here of don't let it pass you by live in Amsterdam ( flip side of this track)
Love Astro's toasting.
such a classic, and what a great message to us all - "don't slow down" !, that is, keep grabbing the best from life!
Carpe Diem

Money corrupts I guess?
