The Very Best Of UB40 by Ub40 - Uhune

COMPILATION

The British version of The Very Best of UB40 1980-2000 offers a large collection of songs that are often associated with the group ("Red Red Wine") and many that later-period fans may not be familiar with. Although the album may not be complete, there is enough quality material to make this an excellent way for casual fans to buy many of the essential tracks from the band. [This disc has little in common with the American release that shares the same title.]
