Free Music Notes for The Very Best of UB40 1980-2000
Free Music Review: Pop-reggae.
Hit: 4 Stars
This collection doesn't have it all, but it does include most of their great covers and best songs. Included is "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)", "I Got You Babe", "The Way You Do The Things You Do", and the huge hit "Red Red Wine". Also here is "Cherry Oh Baby", "Don't Break My Heart", and the cover of "Light My Fire", which is only on this collection. Plus "Can't Help Falling In Love", from the "Sliver" soundtrack. I wish this included "She Caught The Train" and "Please Don't Make Me Cry", but it's still a great listen. Overall this will surely put a smile on your face, and any reggae fan should own this "Best Of", or "Labour Of Love".Free Music Review: Melodious pop reggae
Hit: 5 Stars
It might not be roots, but UB40 has mellow pop reggae down to a T. This hit-packed compilation includes one of their early ska-based songs Food For Thought, plus all their later successes. Most of their biggest hits were covers of older classics, but they always did a good job in the interpretation. Red Red Wine, for example, is absolutely brilliant and the same can be said for Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby, Can't Help Falling In Love and I Got You Babe with Chrissie Hynde on guest vocal. I also love the humorous Rat In Mi Kitchen and their excellent interpretation of The Doors' Light My Fire. Although not completely comprehensive, this compilation offers excellent value for money in that these tracks really were their greatest hits from a 20-year career. There's not one filler track and every song is catchy and hummable. If you like your reggae melodic and mellow, this album is a must.Free Music Review: Am I missing something???

Where was "Here I am (Come and Take Me)"? Why are there 20 tracks on the cd and 18 listed above? And if the difference is +2 tracks, why is the track for which I purchased the cd missing from the cd?Free Music Review: Reggae for a Pop Mentality
Hit: 4 Stars
An excellent disk for those who like variety in their CD folder. This one has not left mine since buying the disk over eight months ago. Many tunes are recognizable hits pop radio will touch on from time to time ("Red Red Wine", "Can't Help Falling in Love") and many pleasant surprises for those who have not exactly kept up with the band over the years. The cover of the Doors "Light My Fire" is a standout with its catchy shuffle beat, and the enchanting "Kingston Town" is a delight for the reggae fan. A warning though: the version of "Can't Help..." on this disk is not the usual pop radio version, but still enjoyable in itself. A refreshing retrospect of a band who have stayed with the style that made them popular, and truly seem to enjoy making music together!Free Music Review: The coolest, music-obsessed, 22 year old Mom around!!!

I love this album! It has all of UB40's hits on it plus good songs you never got to hear if you didn't own any albums in the past. Get it!
