Not too much mate! :grin: I have to agree about the 1st 2 UB40 albums as well (inc. the 12"'s). Different band altogether back then they were.
Opening track on Present Arms - gorgeous of course. Horns, drums and bass. Gorgeous.
That's one of the things that pissed me off, they wrote some cracking tunes on those albums, with corking lyrics too and then had a hit with Red Red Wine and it was covers all the way after that, the lazy bastards.

Correct. No bottle what so ever.
