Collected in Bloomington, MN

With a discography that is quite big and a career that stretches over 35 years, U.K. reggae-pop act
UB40
fit quite well into
Universal
's "three discs or bust" series dubbed
Collected
. Great news is that the compilers offer a more complete overview than usual, with the revolutionary early hit "One in Ten" proving the group is much more than a soft, tropical act that covers
Neil Diamond
songs. Still, the sweet, sweet fluff is represented as their summery party starter, and world favorite "Red Red Wine" is on the track list, as is their hit
Elvis
cover "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You" and their take on "Breakfast in Bed" with
Chrissie Hynde
as guest vocalist. "Rat in Mi Kitchen," "Homely Girl," and the album version of "Here I Am," which works a cover of
Bob Marley
's "Small Axe" into the mix, are all fan favorites that fall squarely between reggae and pop. The third disc includes many live cuts, rare numbers, and remixes of tracks that appeared earlier in the set, so consider this a great two-disc overview with a great bonus tacked on. ~ David Jeffries
