Hollywood (California), USA - For more than 25
years, UB40 has been one of the world’s premiere
pop-reggae acts, with several international
chart-topping singles and global sales totaling
more than 70 million albums. On September 30,
Virgin/EMI will release UB40: Greatest Hits, a new
CD and digital collection of 21 hits and standout
tracks spanning the influential group’s career.

Included on UB40: Greatest Hits are the group’s
first #1 smash, 1984’s “Red Red Wine,” and their
reggae-splashed hit versions of “Here I Am (Come
and Take Me),” “(I Can't Help) Falling In Love With
You,” and “The Way You Do The Things You Do.” Also
included are two songs featuring The Pretenders’
Chrissie Hynde, “I Got You Babe” and “Breakfast In
Bed.” "Swing Low", the official anthem for the
England rugby team's triumphant 2003 World Cup
campaign in Australia, was the group's 49th UK
chart single.

After many years performing live and developing a
name for themselves, UB40's fortunes changed at the
beginning of 1980, when they were asked to support
The Pretenders on a UK tour. The cover art for
UB40's first album, released that year, was a
reproduction of the UK’s unemployment benefit card,
with the title Signing Off rubber-stamped in red.
It referred to "signing off" the dole and getting a
job, both an acknowledgement of the launch of the
band and a celebration of their new status.

Because they were from the West Midlands and they
were a large multicultural group playing music of
Jamaican origin, UB40 were initially thought to be
part of the two-tone music scene which had burst
out of nearby Coventry. Rooted in Caribbean ska,
rock steady and reggae, the two-tone style was
popularized by Coventry bands including The
Specials and The Selecter. Signing Off made it
clear that UB40 were not part of the two-tone
movement. While they were part of the same social
and political tendency, their musical approach was
quite different. Their sound was more relaxed,
sophisticated and sultry.

In 1983, UB40 released the album Labour of Love, a
direct tribute to the musicians who had inspired
and influenced them. The phenomenally popular 'Red
Red Wine' was the album’s first single, and it went
straight to #1 on the UK charts upon its release,
remaining on the British charts for two years. In
1984, the song became UB40’s first U.S. #1 and went
on to be a worldwide hit for the group.
