Biography

There used to be a joke that UB40 stood for the "Unemployed Birmingham 40", because there were so many band members in their videos, and none of them looked exactly sharp-suited. In fact the pop-reggae band did name themselves after an unemployment benefit form, though there was never 40 members - only eight, plus guests. They formed in 1979 and made a breakthrough when their debut single,… Read more in Amazon's UB 40 Store

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Best UB-40 Album Ever!, June 8, 2000
I first discovered UB-40 in 1981 well before they reached their fame. This album is by far their best effort ever, done before they became "educated" in music and started all of their cover versions of other peoples songs. I remember introducing the music of UB-40 to many, many people, and to this day, this album ranks among the top 10 of all time for all of us that came from the early 80's cutting edge generation of music!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing CD!, September 27, 1999
Ive listened to the music on this CD since it was on vinyl and it's one of my favorite recordings of all time. THIS IS VINTAGE UB40 before they were a huge success and I've heard it was recorded using only 8 tracks which is amazing! There's an incredible magic here. Check it out!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic UB40 Album, January 14, 2000
By Graham (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
Present Arms is probably the definitive UB40 album, released at a time before they were so commercial and popular. Tracks such as Sardonicus, Don't Let it Pass You By and Lambs Bread are pure class. A must for any album collection.
