The debut album of UB40 (1980) is still absolute cult - The sound is somewhere between Roots Reggae & Dub with socially critical lyrics. The plate is super from AZ, especially MADAME MEDUSA. UB40 were in your early days very popular and enjoyed because of your texts and the relaxing sounds great recognition in the new wave and punk scene. The first 4 albums (Signing Off / UB40-Files / Present Arms Present Arms in Dub and) should be in every record collection.
