{"product_id":"signing-off-translucent-red-2-lp","title":"Signing Off [Translucent Red 2 LP]","description":"Producers: Bob Lamb, UB40, Ray Pablo Falconer.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough UB40's later records were much more conventionally pop-oriented, even the group's 1980 debut, SIGNING OFF, doesn't fit neatly in the roots-reggae tradition. The album does feature the expected bass-heavy rhythms and socially conscious lyrics of songs like \"Food for Thought\" (which condemns the Ethiopian famine a full four years before Band Aid brought it to attention) and the gospel-tinged \"King.\" However, lead singer Ali Campbell also essays a left-field cover of the early Randy Newman chestnut \"I Think It's Going to Rain Today,\" a mopey ballad more closely associated with the likes of Dusty Springfield than Bob Marley. Like many classic-era reggae albums, SIGNING OFF also includes deep, heavy dub mixes--in this case, the fiery \"Tyler\" (which becomes \"25%\") and \"Adella\" (which is turned into \"12 Bar\"). The CD edition also includes all of the tracks from a limited-edition 21-minute EP that was packaged with early vinyl copies of SIGNING OFF.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41901501448357,"sku":"602435075808","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/517925589dbc6466924d58342249aa1d_fbde2945-7c96-4915-b709-bee3d3c07fd1.jpg?v=1780485489","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/signing-off-translucent-red-2-lp","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
