UB40 - Don't Slow Down (Extended Version)

[@garveyevans3021]

Ub40 helped me through a very tough time as an 11 year old with cancer. The best of the best. Big love x

[@777PROFESSOR]

Life was tough growing up in the 70-80's. UB40 was my go to.

[@garypritchett8136]

Hope you came through it my friend. All the best to you.

[@garveyevans3021]

@@garypritchett8136 I did indeed. Nearly ten years. Thank You

[@garypritchett8136]

@@garveyevans3021 That’s great pal, respect to you.Early UB40 was the best, I have this 12” with all my other UB vinyl. I was massive into them back in the day, being a Brummie too.

[@chukwumaani1097]

Get well

[@stevewatts7031]

Ub40 are the best band ever lived! Rip Brian Travers and Astro u will never be forgotten. 40yrs of memories and still going x

[@123tonyking]

I had the privilege of meeting Brian and Astro and they were great blokes 🎶🎵

[@Maranatha936]

@@123tonyking I bet they were. I've seen Brian Travers in interviews and he came across as very real, genuine and down to earth. Love his sax playing 💚🎷

[@lindengray6790]

53 yrs old havent heard this version since i was in school in the very early 80s..just came across it...WOW...fair play banging it out right about now..one love all

[@1966JVM]

I can still remember as a school kid in the late 70s going to my life long best friends house ( he is a white guy ) and he was playing a tape of UB40 on his Sony ‘Ghetto Blaster’ and I started jammin to the vibe and I knew this guy was gonna be my friend for life.. I was shocked that he listened to black music and reggae at that... He turned and told me the lead singer was “white” and I nearly fell off my chair... I’m proud to say I’ve seen UB40 sing live before they split... I’m Godfather to my friends 1st Daughter and he was my Best Man when I got married in Jamaica.... I remember going to sign on with my UB40 as a poor working class lad fighting the ‘System’ just like UB40 when they started out in Brum.........

[@antony9384]

+ian draper I intend to buy an lp player soon and the first records I buy will be UB40.

[@FightCollective]

+ian draper Just bought an old radiogram from the 70's. Looking to build a record collect 'Signing Off' and 'Present Arms' are top of my list (along with The Specials) You can't beat an old radiogram for 70's music and reggae/two tone.

[@AthenaMarina2]

Not with every song, but in many cases, I LOVE reggae, ska AND dub. I know the songs earth dies screaming and dream a lie well too. Great taste, ian draper!

[@AthenaMarina2]

Freaking LOVE two tone too. Esp "On my radio" and "Do rocksteady"

As a 14/ 15 yr old in the care system a got into ub40 and listen to them for hrs wondering what was to be .45yrs later im still listening like it was yesterday but with much water past under the bridge and a clearer rd ahead .Ali you have one hell of a voice and how many must be out there that has a story that goes with the first few Albums from day one ie Signing off labour of love ect .

[@GarryShepherdDreamGazePostPunk]

This particular Ub40 song holds special memories for a special time,I'll never forget

[@hawit8390]

this is timeless. much better than the shit thats written nowdays!

[@johnhughes8466]

The baselines, vocals and Brian Travers sax are world class! Music from the masters of reggae!

[@bristolcityifcation]

[@ajaxnwax]

Been listening to that angelic voice of Ali and support of the amazing and talented boys since my youth in the 80s. Man it makes me so nostalgic but happy that I'm still here and was able to turn my three beautiful children (21, 20, & 18) into life long fans of the UB40. I hope to hear this on my final day on earth...I'll go to sleep with a smile on my face.

[@connieb9034]

The mic toasting in this is incredible ❤️💛💚 the most respect to UB40

[@WazigeLogica]

"The mic toasting" what a beautiful expression I never heard it. What does it mean though? Is it toasting because the vocals are on fire? Or is it some type of singing-style? Is it a filter they use? Please explain! :-)

[@Viking-rd7ps]

One of the best and most prolific bands I have ever known.

[@hadeelwagdyakakababi4803]

You might believe, and still you feel The chase has just begun; That you must reach that horizon before The setting of the sun. You chase the light in front of you, Nightfall close behind; If you stop to catch your breath, You know what you will find. () Don't slow down don't touch the ground, You know what you will find; That old grey man in tattered clothes Following behind. No time to stop, don't go to sleep, Prepare to pay the cost. The hours and minutes are passing by, Another day is lost. Impatience is a virtue, Catch me if you can. The seconds have been ticking by Since your life began

[@richieevans4753]

The hours and minutes hurtle by- and- if patience is a virtue

An all time favorite of a roots jamaican fan. Certified an all time classic tune by Peter Daniels from Mandeville Jamaica

[@hyena131]

@peter daniels Well thank goodness peter daniels from Madeville, Jamaica endorses this song. What a reassuring relief.

[@richieevans4753]

UB were excellent dub musicians , they loved just jamming and head toppin for hours , it made them great musicians , thats before the exquisite vocals of ali n robin, and the wicked chatting (MC'ing, toasting) of Astro the mic general

[@how2pick4name]

About 43 years ago the man in the record store I frequented said, I have something for you. A new reggae band from the UK. Have a listen. This was in Amsterdam, The Netherlands where we were slightly behind with import at that time. lol That was present arms in dub, ordered everything else they had made and never looked back. At that time I was probably the only person to walk around with a "boombox" as it was an old Phillips cassette recorder that ate 6 big batteries a day. Everyone that heard the tape was going, wtf who is this!!??

[@stoffelsnyman240]

Yes I tend to agree. I saw them at Ratanga Junction in Cape town couple a years ago, doing there what they do best. I was totally blown away, ever since they are under my skin, each and everyone of them brilliant

i refuse to back either, this is not the ub40 way

[@SirGed]

they lost the plot after UB44, so even if they did get it sorted, dont mean they will get the Hunger and brilliance back that they had at the very beginning..... unfortunately.

[@garveyevans3021]

Ali and astro are the ones I support. Robin and Duncan are terrible on my opinion

[@HenryHopkins-v5w]

This group's first three albums plus their live album was a mix of them but after that the edge wore out on their political dagger as they went on an attention hunt by fans who have never or rarely play the first three albums,every time I say I like UB40,the always say "oh red red wine"I say " aye sure"through gritted teeth,this is were the real UB40 are,keep on listening people.god bless.
