Ub40's 'labour of love iv', is their first labour of love album since 1998's 'labour of love iii', and coming just in time for valentines day! Literally millions of people from across the globe have developed a love for jamaican music after hearing ub40, and the band's commitment to their early influences is as strong as ever. The labour of love series began in 1983, with a number one album and number one single ('red, red wine)'. This was followed in 1989 by labour of love ii, which spawned a no.4 single ('kingston town') and two u.s. billboard top 10s. Another top 10 album, labour of love iii, and single ('come back, darling') was released in 1998. 'labour of love iv' continues what has become a passion for the band; to share their love of reggae classics, some well-known, some not so. Recorded at ub40's reflex studios in birmingham in the spring 2009, the album comprises 16 tracks featuring covers such as delroy wilson ('close to me'), john holt songs ('i don't want to see you cry' and 'man next door'), american soul stars smokey robinson ('tracks of my tears') and sam cooke ('bring it on home to me') plus more. Labour of love iv is the first to feature another talented campbell brother, duncan, on lead vocals.

Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe three disc (two CDs + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition of the Birmingham band's 1980 debut album. Includes the original album, all the Dub mixes and b-sides,, classic Radio 1 sessions and a DVD containing both promo and performance video from the period, including the rare Rock Goes To College set from 1981. Considered by many as one of the greatest Reggae albums ever released by a British band, Signing Off was well received amongst many music fans, including followers of Punk and the 2 Tone movement, and struck a chord amongst a large proportion of the UK's disaffected youth. Mixing reggae and dub, 'Signing Off' chronicled the times, and wider social and political issues, as well as the plight of communities throughout the country during the early Thatcher years. Since the release of Signing Off, UB40 have become one of the most successful Reggae groups of all time, with over forty UK Top 40 hit singles and sales of 80 million records across the world.
