UB40 CCCP: Live in Moscow

AMG Review of UB40 CCCP: Live in Moscow

It's hard to imagine what A&M had in mind, releasing a live album by a group that hadn't really broken in the U.S. yet. Nevertheless, the record actually spent eight weeks in the charts, but it sold only to diehards. Although it's an appealing enough set, featuring covers like "Cherry Oh Baby" and "I Got You, Babe" (minus Chrissie Hynde), and such British hits as "If It Happens Again" and "Sing Our Song," it's hard to imagine it doing any better.
