Signing Off is the debut album by British reggae band UB40, released in the UK on 29 August 1980 by Dudley-based independent label Graduate Records. It was an immediate success in their home country, reaching number 2 on the UK albums chart, and made UB40 one of the many popular reggae bands in Britain, several years before the band found international fame. The politically-concerned lyrics struck a chord in a country with widespread public divisions over high unemployment, the policies of the recently elected Conservative party under Margaret Thatcher, and the rise of the racist National Front party, while the record's dub-influenced rhythms reflected the late 1970s influence in British pop music of West Indian music introduced by immigrants from the Caribbean after the Second World War,

  • Signing Off är den brittiska reggaegruppen UB40s första studioalbum. Det lanserades 1980 på skivbolaget Graduate Records och hade över en timmes speltid. I albumet ingick två skivor, där den ena var en 12-tums EP bland annat innehållandes den 12 minuter långa låten "Madam Medusa", som var bandets kommentar till Margaret Thatcher. Gruppen gjorde succé i hemlandet med albumet som nådde andraplatsen på brittiska albumlistan där det låg kvar i över ett år. Dess singel "Food for Thought" blev gruppens första hit. Det internationella genombrottet skulle dock dröja ytterligare några år. (sv)
