The members of UB40 chose their name after a piece of paper most of them were all too familiar with: Unemployment Benefit form 40, in short: UB40. The name was put on posters and the band was promoted even before each member fully understood his instrument. With "Present Arms In Dub", they managed to make first dub album ever to reach the album charts in the U.K., with the poignant songs "One In Ten" and "Don't Slow Down". In 1983 the band put on a new project, Labour Of Love, boasting ten cover versions of Jamaican hits, which became a huge worldwide hit and the band's first number one album.

Besides original UB40 songs like Food For Thought and Rat In Mi Kitchen, Labour Of Love tracks Red Red Wine, Cherry Oh Baby and Please Don't Make Me Cry, there are collaborations with Chrissie Hynde (I Got You Babe, Breakfast In Bed"), Afrika Bambaataa (Reckless) and Robert Palmer (I'll Be Your Baby Tonight) on Collected.
