Present Arms in Dub is a remix album by UB40 released in October 1981. The album contains eight remixed instrumental versions of original tracks from Present Arms and its bonus 12" single; only the tracks "Don't Let It Pass You By" and "Don't Slow Down" are not remixed and included. The album was the first dub album to enter the UK top 40, where it reached number 38 and spent 7 weeks in the chart.[1] The dub style is characterised as a mainly instrumental version of an existing song, typically emphasising the drums and bass.
