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 music album to hit the UK top 40. The dub style is characterized as a mainly instrumental version of an existing song, typically emphasizing the drums and bass.
Track 9 is a sample of industrial noise that closes the album.
The track listing shows that most of the dub versions have different song titles to those used on Present Arms. But as in keeping with typical reggae dubs, they still have some sort of song title connection to the original song title names.
