MEMPHIS, TN - The pop rock band UB40 has sold another copy of their collected box set, titled The Platinum Collection. It is the sixth copy to be sold since its release early last year.
Jacob Tellerton, 28, purchased the box set from a local Sam Goody last Thursday. When asked why he purchased it, he stated, \"I really like that \'Lady In Red\' song.\"
When it was explained to Tellerton that it was Chris de Burgh that recorded \"Lady In Red\", and not UB40, he stated, \"Fuck.\"
Five of UB40\'s ten band members purchased the other five copies.
UB40, known primarily for such hits as their cover of Elvis Presley\'s \"Can\'t Help Falling In Love\", or their cover of Al Green\'s \"Here I Am\", or their cover of The Temptation\'s \"The Way You Do The Things You Do\", or their cover of Neil Diamond\'s \"Red, Red Wine\", is also shocked by the news, but for other reasons.
\"I don\'t understand why everyone is so shocked by this news,\" said lead singer Ali Campbell from his night job at Diebold Securities. \"We were one of the most prolific and influential bands of our time.\"
