Rated 5/5
Review by andyman5 Aug 08, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Very nice early record from UB40 that is much closer to roots reggae / dub then pop and has thus stood the test of time. Very chill offering with great basslines and minimal dubbed out vocals. Not at all what you would expect from UB40 now or in the later 80's. Recommended.
