It is the last UB40 album to feature the classic line-up with vocalist/guitarist Ali Campbell and keyboardist Mickey Virtue.

[2] Twentyfourseven was released as a free insert in The Mail on Sunday's 4 May 2008 issue, which sold nearly three million copies.

This however, led to a backlash when the full 17-track version was released 21 June 2008, and most of the big retailers refused to stock it.

The original saxophone part from "Tyler" is played over the closing bars of the track.

UB40's next release (on EMI) was a collection called Love Songs.
