Reggae Beat by Jack Curry From a street gang to the top of the Brit- ish charts. That is the route taken by the English reggae band UB 40 which will play the Rose Hill Gymnasium on September 20. The eight members of the band have been' friends since the days when they hung around together in Birmingham, Britain, a predom- inantly black area, and listened to the Jamaican reggae sound. When they decided to form a band they stayed within their roots and produced an in- teresting reggae sound. UB 40 (the document number of a British unemployment benefit card) has been a mainstay in the British Top Ten while achieving only modest success in the states. The band has a reputation for remaking some classic reggae sounds in their own unique style. These tunes include Eric Donaldson's "Cherry Oh Baby" and some Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff tracks. UB 40 has released four albums in America with the most recent being an EP entitled, "Little Baggariddim." The first album from the English group was called "1980-1983" as the American audience was treated to a compilation of the band's first four discs.
