Album NotesUB40: Astro, James Brown, Ali Campbell, Robin Campbell, Earl Falconer, Norman Hassan, Brian Travers, Michael Virtue.Additional personnel: Patrick Tenyue (trumpet), Henry "Buttons" Tenyue (trombone), Bitty McLean (background vocals).Recorded at Abbatoir Studios, Birmingham, England.All songs written by UB40 except "Can't Help Falling In Love" (George David Weiss/Hugo Peretti/Luigi Creatore).Carried by the hit "Can't Help Falling in Love," Promises and Lies finishes UB40's transition from a reggae band to an adult-contemporary band that plays reggae-pop. Fans of the single will be satisfied by Promises and Lies, but older fans will find the whole affair rather dismaying. ~ All Music Guide
Editorial Reviews4 Stars - Excellent - ...[PROMISES AND LIES] is in the uncertain area between joy and melancholy where UB40 work best...Q (19930901)Included in Q's list of `The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - ...PROMISES AND LIES shows that, whatever they may be, UB40 are certainly at the top of their game now....Q (19940101)...the beauty of PROMISES AND LIES is that [UB40] didn't have to stray an inch from their usual course to sound as relevant and catchy as ever... - Rating: A-Entertainment Weekly (19930730)eBay Product ID: EPID3145031
