the way early ub 12 inches were .the dub at the end/or astro doing his bit .shame they don't do em now .but check out ubloonies versions of latest ub songs, theyre similar
Hazy days of summer 82-83 growing up in Dublin the sounds of dub reggae ska & skins .... the music the style the devil may care attitude having little but life was full just sitting out on the steps in the sunshine and buzzing on musics ....good times!
Thatchers Britain, was bored youths with nothing but football, music and girls. Without them we were nothing. UB40 and the 2 Tone bands around '79 -'80 shaped my youth.
Another bell end.. well done .. Dismiss 30 albums because they made a series of 4 cover albums.. They made money with the covers and established themselves across the world .. Money then enabled them to release Promises and Lies., who you fighting for.. massive political albums aswell as Guns in the Ghetto.. Ignorant knobheads like you want to fuck off
I bought the album back in the day. I didn't like the left-wing politics, but it was the best album I'd ever heard. Now, revisited, the creepy eyes are creeping-the-fuck out of me.
The single versions of ‘I Won’t Close My Eyes’ & it’s B-Side version of ‘Folitician’ with the non UB44 album version of UB40’s first #1 single ‘Love Is All Is Alright’ (#1 in Zimbabwe for 6 weeks) are far superior than the albums (remix) versions! Thanks for uploading all three great tracks. ✌️
Come back to this type of sound and lyric UB, hated when they started using drum machines and sounding too poppy.. "I wont close my eyes to the sufferers plight, I won't turn off my light"!!!!
The label paid them well when it went a different direction covering old reggae music. you heard them on interview we wanted to showcase the music they listened. The one album who you fighting for had anti war message. The mainstream music industry maid sure it didn't get attention since it was supporting the war Iraq & Afghanistan.
The best album by UB40 is Labour of love 2. But they're biggest seller of 15 million copies is promises and lies. They were a bit dodgy in the early gay. And I think they would admit that as well. 💯🇯🇲🇬🇧😁
good song but wtf is that eyes pic. thats creepy af for me atm. dont do that to stoners dude love it that he probably mostly listened to the second part of the song:D that is the most used judging by the crackles and pops of the audio :D:D

🇬🇧🎸 Brilliant UB40 have some great Tracks 📻🎶
'In a world full of darkness I won't turn off my light' love it, more relevant today than 40 years ago, 'the louder we scream the sweeter the sound'
This is how we step it in a Birmingham BCFC ,UB40 international 💙💙💙
Proper old school, non commercial, the real UB40. Love it.😎
UB40 were always at their best when they had something to say. 'Signing off' still my all time favourite album.
"Signing off" is an outright masterpiece that so many have never heard of!
Signing off the dole my friend
Best version of this classic I have ever heard

Back to the good old days and tunes.
Absolutely love this one.
Absolutely fantastic. Love this 😍
UB40 before dey went mainstream pop were just awesome
B4 THEY WERE BASTARISED THEY MADE A CONSCIOUS TUNE OR 2
Everything before 'Red red wine' was great.
Early UB music was tuff 4 real. Along with'King' and 'Strange Fruit' this one's a gem.
Big Up!
Thanks for posting the 12 inch version. Rediscovered after 30 years. I loved it then, I love it even more now! I have to remix this!!!
proper UB40 at their original and best - massive tune, many thanks
👌 ❤🎉x
sosthene bignoumba je ne peux me lasser de ce tube qui me rappel plusieurs souvenirs
Brilliance at its best ;) xxx
'In a world full of darkness - I will not turn off my light'
Whoa, first time I’ve heard this version!
I never understood why they changed from this political engaged music to the cover shit! The early tracks are just awesome and true brilliance!
I am of the same opinion, the early albums were unique
Another bell end.. well done ..
Dismiss 30 albums because they made a series of 4 cover albums..

Signing off was a brilliant album. So was Presennt Armms in Dub. Totally disagree...early stuff was briiant.
If you don't know UB40 jams then you don't know SHIT...ASH...

Most of their hits appeared to be covers.Even their record sleeves were covers.
good song but wtf is that eyes pic. thats creepy af for me atm. dont do that to stoners dude
love it that he probably mostly listened to the second part of the song:D that is the most used judging by the crackles and pops of the audio :D:D

The bogus band UB40 played in Reading...dreadful...and I don't mean dread as in hair-plaited.
