  1. Copy bought via amazon marketplace for a not unreasonable sum, great to finally cross it off my wants list where it had taken up what felt like permament residence.

  2. From UB40’s site (a.k.a. “the horse’s mouth”) on 2-27-16: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you all that the Present Arms & Labour of Love re-issues will not be coming out on March 2nd. Owing to issues out of our control the releases have been put on hold. We’ll update you with more info as soon as possible, if you have already pre-ordered the albums, please speak to the relevant retailer customer services who will be able to advise you.”

    I personally believe both sets have already been pressed. Not from just the press photos but because these have been circulating in lossy MP3 “quality” since 2015. Come on UB40 let us take the tangible product off your hands!

  3. Amazon state :

    Temporarily out of stock.
    Order now and we’ll deliver when available. We’ll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information

    but marketplace sellers have it fro £25 and up. Odd

  4. Amazon saying Temporarily out of stock surprise surprise. Somebody is selling it in the marketplace and saying it’s in stock if that’s to be believed.

  5. Sounds like somebody has took the huff with these UB40 reissues and put a block on them being released. Same thing happened with Simple Minds about 10 years ago with that Platinum Collection where the band refused permission for it to be released.

    1. This won’t be on sale tomorrow and as for Amazon Germany asking £30 they can shove it. There is not even a release date on that page apart from 2016.

  9. Chilli set just arrived. Wonderful looking vinyl. Really nice. And a good gatefold sleeve (I love me a good gatefold). No time to play it yet but will give it a spin later……

  11. How sure are we that Present Arms is coming out???? After all this time I’m not sure I believe it will be on my doormat when I get home from Malta……………

  13. I have searched everywhere for that Present Arms deluxe edition and Amazon are the only ones saying it will be released on the 26th. Unless they have an exclusive deal with Amazon to only sell it through their website there is no way that this is going to be released on Friday and the price is a joke as well typical Amazon.

  15. Paul – According to Amazon, the 26th also sees the release of “Back in Anger”, a live recording from David Bowie’s Outside tour, where his set overlapped with that of the support band, Nine Inch Nails. It’s not strictly an SDE, but do you have any thoughts – worthy item or shameless cash grab (or both)?

      1. Yeah its a bootleg that ‘Back In Anger’ that you can probably obtain for free at some station. It’s an excellent show from a superior source if you’re a fan of the industrial Dame

  17. A decent week for releases. I wasn’t aware the UB40 reissue was finally being released, i’ll be up for that and potentially the Tull vinyl depending on price. But no mention of the new Anthrax album? For All Kings. Its out this Friday and has been getting rave reviews everywhere. I’ve ordered the double blue vinyl. I’ve heard some of the tracks and it sounds great.

  21. The release I’m looking forward to this week is the Red Hot Chille Peppers vinyl release you gave us a heads up about a few months ago Paul. That should be good!

        1. As far as I know it is US-only but could be wrong since it’s not listed as an ‘import’ as such on Amazon UK. But yes, that link is correct.
