UB40 “1980-1983” 1983. Early comp of singles from the British pop/reggae band that they recorded, obviously, between 1980-1983. Their debut release was the double A-side single “King” and “Food for Thought,” which appear on the 1980 LP Signing Off (the album version of “King” is on this comp); the single hit #4 in the UK.  From their second album, Present Arms (1981) is the single “One in Ten” (a really excellent protest song about the inequities under Thatcher) which went to #7 in the UK, plus two non-single tracks “Present Arms” and “Silent Witness.” From 1982’s UB44 the tracks “So Here I Am, ” “I Won’t Close My Eyes,” and “Don’t Do the Crime” appear on 1980-1983 (can’t find any info about chart performance for these). Two non-album tracks are also on this comp: from 1983 the extended version of “I’ve Got Mine” and its b-side, the upbeat “Dubmobile.” 1980-1983 is a decent enough overview of UB40’s early material but not captivating enough to hang onto – think this one is going to go.
