Default Originals or Covers?

Hi Guys,

General question here but:

Do you prefer UB40's original songs, or the songs they've covered?

Originals.

Having said that, there are some fantastic covers. Maybe Tomorrow and Keep On Moving spring to mind

Sorry uys i know it is your labour of love but your original stuff is just perfection even if the music industry dont really understand it, you guys have never got the recognition for your own work. Their loss
