  • Nix Hex

  • May I recommend the book 'A Concise Guide To Eighties Music' by Karl Vorderman. The author is a big fan of this track.

  • Wish you never broke up..But still luv yas no matter what..NZ loves you nd you can guarantee Kiwis still rock ur music hard out..Even our younger generation. Reggae is apart of our culture..Luv U xox

  • @brockneyc , the record shop is desmonds hip city on railton road Brixton , long gone now

  • @sirbarnes81 Thanks fella.... yeah shame that, reds has gone now too... hardly any left

  • grew up in london and had cousins in birmingham cool friendly and funny people !!

  • What happened to this band. 2 great albums then they sold out

  • Anybody know if the record shop in the video at 1min 25 is in fact the legendary Don Christies?

  • @brockneyc It looks simular Im from Birmingham, one way to check would be to watch the video to SL2 On the Ragga Tip as that was filmed outside Don Christies.

  • Very appropriate for the weather this week

  • Cracking track. I heard this first in 1980 when I was 14. Proud to be a brummie. Blues fans ub40.

  • @Riccardoxr3 UTV VTID lol Proud to be a Brummie Cockney ;)

  • Nice to see a proper boozer.Playin pool havin a burn and a few jars with your mates with a jukie blarin away in the backround talkin about music footie an birds.There all dissapearin now...

  • This is the canine's cojones!!!!!!!

  • Still a mean HEARTY song!!!!!

  • What is this shit?

  • @skooma728 its called music, try opening your ears and listening to it, you tone deaf cunt

  • The best UB40 cover! The sound of Birmingham for Genration X

  • Awesome tune

  • Too fucking cool. Sweet!!!

  • Wicked Wicked Tune!

  • UB40 by far are the absolute greatest this and dreamm a lie just blow me away time and again Ali is the voice!

  • yes then x

  • first heard it when was 13,,,its wot got me in to music,,,, luv it .... words cant explain this tune,,, x

  • R.A.N.D.O.M!

  • This is possibly my favourite track of all time - The sax line is what I whistle when I'm in a good mood and has been since the record came out :)

  • It's funny to think that once upon a time UB40 were considered every bit as cool as the 2 Tone acts like The Specials and The Beat. I'd actually go so far to say Signing Off and Present Arms are superior to any of the 2 Tone output.

    UB4O look GREAT in this promo. I lost interest after Geoffrey Morgan ('84) and Rat In The Kitchen ('86)

  • yeah, not bad for a bunch of unemployed bums (solution; learn some musical instruments and become the biggest reggae band the world has ever known - easy!)

    I have a weakness for the Beat, but for sheer volume of original stuff that took the genre in new directions, .. no contest, the crown goes to UB40.

  • Good cover. No one tops Newman though... But who does?

  • Why oh why did they cut at just as the extended dubwise version kicks in on this clip? This was such a great 12 inch *sigh*.

  • all time best ub40 song iv heard,i 1st heard this track 15years ago and stull love it

  • Catch the syncopation at 3:06: simple, yet awesome. Terrific version.

  • its funny and its very fucking clever if you now what i mean so hear goes so many words so little meaning so who is out there to defend the vouice of the little man not me but is it you

  • this track takes me back to the early days of my reggae and weed experience..!

  • Unfortunately, in todays greedy world, Human evil is overflowing - Rock em UB40....

  • Great video! OK I'm biased. I was the film editor :-)

  • What a marvellous display of black & white Christian unity?! These were hard times, but harder ones are on their way. Perhaps a whole new generation of representative bands will get together as a result?
