  • "Kingston Town" is a 1970 song by Lord Creator. It was recorded in 1990 by reggae group UB40 and was the second single from their 1989 album Labour of Love II, reaching #4 on the UK singles chart.
    In France, the cover by UB40 peaked at #1 for three weeks from October 20 to November 3, 1990. It remained on the chart for 25 weeks, and was certified Gold disc by SNEP in 1991. Infodisc Website estimates it is the 426th best selling single of all time in France with 581,000 copies sold.
    The song was also covered by Jamaican group The Mighty Red, and now of course by Old Guitar Monkey ;-)
    I hope you like it.

    I hate to say but I cheated.
    The zoom was digital zoom in the software editing.
    Not live optical zoom.
