At last! UB40 deluxe editions emerge

Over two years since the planned release, the much delayed triple CD deluxe editions of UB40‘s Present Arms and Labour Of Love have finally emerged.

Without any fanfare (or official announcement) these sets are now available for immediate shipping from various channels, including Amazon.

The 3CD deluxe edition of 1981’s Presents Arms comes with its companion release Present Arms In Dub and a third disc devoted to BBC sessions. Labour of Love (issued in 1983) boasts four UK top 20 singles including number one Red Red Wine. The deluxe edition includes a bonus disc of seven-inch edits, dub mixes and twelve inch versions and like Present Arms includes a CD of BBC live sessions. The full track listings can be viewed below.

Both albums are also available as two-LP 180g vinyl sets. Present Arms includes Present Arms In Dub on the second vinyl record while Labour of Love repeats the edits/remixes bonus disc on the second LP (minus the live version of Food For Thought).

The 3CD deluxe sets and 2LP vinyl editions of Present Arms and Labour of Love are out now.
