"Red, Red Ink....."

At least Ali Campbell had the good sense and strength to crawl out of this whole mess before he got sucked up into it. He'll do fine. The rest of the guys however......

They recorded 24 albums in 28 years!  How many of us could name enough UB40 songs to fill up even ONE album?  (Those of you who are not already UB40 fans, that is.)

So re-release "Red Red Wine" for the third time! 

I honestly don't know how many versions of the song there are, but Neil Diamond already snatched up the third version...

(although I do wonder if he's had a little too much Red Red wine himself around 4:43  )

Since Neil Diamond wrote it, I would say that he had the first version of it!

Anyone notice UB40 does an homage to Shirley Ellis' "The Clapping Song" during the extended version?

First and third.

Only having heard the UB40 version on the radio, even yesterday flipping through, I would have never figured that was a Neil Diamond, but when you think about it, a lot of his songs seem to go along that lyrical vein....
