This second volume in Universal/Impulse's reissuing of the albums of John Coltrane contains some choice titles. For those who love the early Impulse Trane, there is certainly something here for you in the John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman collection of ballads. There's also the excellent quartet era with Live at Birdland, Crescent, and the seminal A Love Supreme, the record that changed everything ever after for him. In addition, there is the 1963 album Impressions, a compilation of sorts. There is a long quartet selection called "Up 'Gainst the Wall" (1962), a beautiful but brief "After the Rain" with drummer Roy Haynes sitting in for Elvin Jones from 1963, the title cut, and opening number "India," recorded with Eric Dolphy on bass clarinet and Reggie Workman as an additional bassist.

UB40 have a catalogue of poignant original material and era-defining cover versions that make the band so loved. In 2014, a 20-track collection ‘Red Red Wine: The Collection’ was released and enjoyed incredible success.

Featured here is a selection loaded with chart successes, including some of their undisputed highlights – ‘Rat In Mi Kitchen’, ‘Sing Our Own Song’, a much-loved extended version of their UK Chart No. 1 ‘Red Red Wine’ as well as great live versions of ‘Food For Thought’ and ‘I Got You Babe’. It is a fine, unmistakable body of work that has been part of the fabric of the UK music scene for over three decades.
