Product description

UB40's "Present Arms In Dub" is a groundbreaking remix album that hit the shelves in October 1981, marking a significant moment in reggae history. This album is a testament to UB40's innovative spirit, offering eight instrumental dub versions of tracks from their second studio album, "Present Arms," and its bonus 12" single. Notably, it was the first dub album to crack the UK top 40, peaking at number 38 and enjoying a 7-week run on the charts. The album features a blend of socially and politically charged lyrics, a hallmark of UB40's earlier work, but with a dub twist that adds a unique depth to the original tracks. With a runtime of just over 33 minutes, "Present Arms In Dub" is a concise yet powerful collection that showcases UB40's mastery of the dub genre. The album includes standout tracks like "Present Arms In Dub," "Smoke It," and the dub version of "One In Ten," each offering a unique take on the original compositions. Fans of reggae and dub will appreciate the intricate layering and rhythmic complexity that UB40 brings to each track. "Present Arms In Dub" is not just a remix album; it's a celebration of UB40's ability to push musical boundaries and create timeless music.

This LP was released in 1981.

  • UB40's Dub Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    waigrpecxMay 5, 2024United States🇺🇸

    to be honest, i'm not a fan of ub 40's music after their initial 2 albums and their early live record...they took a turn towards the mainstream and put out some truly awful songs like red wine and kingston town, which i just can't stand listening to...their debut album was/is a true gem of british dub reggae, it was recorded in a bedroom/garden (you can hear birds chirping in the background sometimes...) and has a deep, calming vibe with a unique style. even now, it sounds fresh and timeless. this is a dub version of their second album, i'm not super familiar with the original. i'm a huge dub enthusiast, especially the classic stuff from the 70s and early 80s, king tubby, scientist, etc. it's a genuinely great dub album from start to finish, the rhythm section is fantastic. this is perfect for unwinding. dub is both: ethereal and grounded, which is amazing. so any dub lover should definitely give this a listen!
