Hi Idolator,

On behalf of Reflex Muzic and UB40, many thanks for plugging "TwentyFourSeven" (UK street date 16th June) ... .. and thanks, also, on behalf of the label and UB40 for not posting any pirate links to unreleased material, although, if your readers want good quality, non-pirated, preview tracks, a selection of full-length, official previews shall shortly be available for free downloading off UB40's web-site, that fans and bloggers shall then be very welcome to post / host / file-swap etc in advance of next month's official release of the full / 17 track album (check-out www.ub40.co.uk for details on 24/7 and the band's 2008 shows).

To clarify the suggested / requested guidelines for 24/7, if anyone has a copy of the (UK) Mail on Sunday, 10 track promo, both Reflex and UB40 have requested that fans and bloggers simply keep these for personal use and do not post / file-exchange copies on-line … .. that being said and, again, as a goodwill gesture to fans and bloggers, the official preview tracks shall be available for free downloading off UB40's site very shortly.

Many thanks for your plug.

Regards,

WEB SHERIFF

UB40 didn't exist until '78, and they were from Birmingham - part of the whole scene that gave birth to the Specials, The Selecter and the Two-Tone era... they're as British as Spotted Dick and football hooliganism.

What a shame...

Here's some of the goodstuff:

Then it sounds terrible.
