Love this thread...

 

I was born in Kingston Jamaica, army brat...I saw UB40 live many years ago, and fell in love with that first album...

 

So much truth in this.

 

 

Hi Adam, great to have you here ☝️, there’s been so many great contributions posted here by many people it’s so good .   I agree, signing off was definitely their best album, I remember the day  it came out in 1980 and I’ve still got it on vinyl 🙂

I was stuck in boarding school and a day boy mate of mine worked at the locaL club....humping gear prior to sound checks and after the show so, he got me involved and I used to risk expulsion every week to go a gig on a Friday night. 2 years seeing some amazing bands, so worth it!!!

 

UB40 were amazing, just hearing the whole place shake when Earl played!!!!

The vibes ting a good find, as you say a good "soundtrack" for life ! 👍

Not been on here hardly for a couple of days so bit of catching up to do again

Great one here from Leroy Gibbons 

and for 10 extra points, without using google, can you tell me which film about a bartender this song was used in, your clue is it was in 1988

My first post on this excellent thread. I'm kind of stuck in the 70's - early 80s. I keep coming back to this one. Never get tired of it. Multidimensional sound scape created on a Tascam 4 track. Bass is so good it's scary. Pure magic.

Welcome skin lewis ☝️, great to have you here , the late 70’s and 80’s was a superb time for reggae and dub, I’d say most of my all time favourites were released around then , I dig the vinyl out of my loft every now and then, it really takes me back

Having a bit of an Alborosie morning 

and we’ve had this before, one of my favourite with Raging Fyah , delroy pele on bass

This is a recent one from Jah Sun, I got from reggaeville, I like it and a nice bass tone, what do you think
