Signing Off

This debut album by UB40 was released in the UK in August 1980 by Dudley-based independent label Graduate Records.

It contains a brilliant, innovative mix of reggae and dub. 

This original issue consists of a ten-track LP (33 rpm) plus a three-track 12" record (45 rpm).  

The front and back covers of the album are a replica of the yellow British UB40 unemployment benefit attendance card.

CONDITION

This original issue 33-RPM LP // 45 RPM [12" single "Madam Medusa”, etc] plays very well, with very few scattered ‘pop’s - but no serious flaws or skips.

  The images in this listing, that feature the four vinyl sides, have a circular ‘ghost-like’ reflection of a light fixture in the left portion of each photo (not a flaw on the actual record).

 The original Jacket is in very good, or better, condition with light  wear – see images.

 The original paper inner sleeves are in very good, or better, condition.
