473 UB40 - Signing Off

1001 Album Club

In August of 1980 UB40 released their debut album.

Robert Christgau –

“Eight black-and-whites from Birmingham who named themselves after the dole card they know so well, they don’t play no ska–they’re songsmiths in a deep reggae groove. They take their time instead of pressing on to the next one, and more than one instrumental outwears its welcome.”

Let’s talk UB40, Signing Off!
