In the UK, UB40 have done as much to popularize reggae as Bob Marley did for the rest of the world. This is their most refined album and contains some of their major hits. They make a point in the sleeve-notes of informing the listener that all these songs had been recorded by Jamaican artists. No apology is needed - their `Cherry Oh Baby` and `Red Red Wine` have become classics for this band. Much respect, irie.Track Listing: •DISC 1 - Cherry Oh Baby - Keep on Moving - Please Don`t Make Me Cry - Sweet Sensation - Johnny Too Bad - Red, Red Wine - Guilty - She Caught the Train - Version Girl - Many Rivers to Cross - Album Information
