Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the famous band UB40, with the track "Present Arms" on side A and "Don't Slow Down" on side B, as shown on the visible sleeve. The jacket features a graphic typical of the early 80s, with a red scribbled effect behind the band's name, "UB40," printed in large black lettering. The overall design is understated, with a dominant white color and black inscriptions, highlighting the minimalist and effective aesthetic of that period.

The sleeve shows the Epic label logo and the reference "EPC A1335" at the bottom left, characteristic elements of vinyl productions of the era. A handwritten signature is visible in the upper left corner of the sleeve, adding a unique touch to this copy. The whole shows signs of wear and handling, typical of a record that has survived several decades.

The sleeve support, slightly warped and marked by time, shows stains, creases, and various marks, visible on the front. The corners are rounded, with signs of crushing. The prints remain clearly legible, and the contrast between the bright red of the logo's background and the rest of the visual immediately catches the eye.

The vinyl itself is not visible in the photo; only the sleeve is presented. No details of the back, the central label, or the condition of the record are observable in the provided image.

This 45 rpm record is in the tradition of pop-reggae singles from the new wave period, with graphic elements characteristic of the 80s. The reference to UB40, a major British band of that decade, makes it a sought-after item by vintage music and retro vinyl enthusiasts.

Did you know? The single "Present Arms" is taken from the eponymous album released in 1981, which marked a turning point for UB40 by consolidating their place on the international scene. The Epic label was then a major player in the distribution of pop and reggae vinyl in the early 80s.
