We're currently busy compiling a book for UB40 fans and collectors interested in UB40's full back catalogue. The project was started by Joris van Drunen Littel and Norman de Langen. We so far have a 200 page document ready with full info on every known UB40 release from all over the world. The discography was previously released in a very small circulation, see the covers above, that are now collectables.

We are currently looking into adding images from various releases including old advertisements and collectors' items. At this time we are also cross-referencing all releases and adding the latest finds. Many of the images have already been added, just a few more chapters need to be updated

The listing comprises of over 330 7" singles, 50 cassette singles, 200 maxi singles, 170 CD singles, 200 LP albums, 140 cassette albums, 60 videos, 17 soundtracks and also includes listings of DVDs, LaserDiscs and CD-ROMs. The book will also list TV, internet and radio performances and also includes releases with UB40 bandmembers including Ali Cambell's "Big Love" and "Running Free" solo projects, Jim Brown's Star Company, Earl Falconer's Maximum Boost/Ammo and Ali Campbell and Brian Travers' Oracabessa Records.

The book is still in the works and we don't have a publishing date set yet! Some chapters might be published here at a later date in PDF format.

Preview
Have a preview of the book! We thought it would be nice to see one of the chapters already. We published an old version of the 7" Singles section to a PDF file. Note that we haven't yet added images but this gives you an impression of how the information could be presented.

Click on download to view/download the PDF file of the 7" singles chapter. Or click here to view the cassette singles chapter.

You might need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the downloaded PDF file.
