The Sin of Pride is the fourth and final album to be released by the original line-up of the Undertones. The album, which was produced by Mike Hedges, was recorded between the autumn of 1982 and the spring of 1983. Unlike the three previous albums released by the Undertones, which primarily consisted of guitar-oriented music, The Sin of Pride drew much inspiration from both Soul music and Motown.[1] The band's lead singer, Feargal Sharkey, has opined The Sin of Pride as being "the finest Undertones album."[2]

Released on 13 March 1983,[3] The Sin of Pride reached number 43 in the UK charts. Largely due to the commercial failure of The Sin of Pride, the Undertones disbanded just four months after the album's release.[4]
Three singles were taken from The Sin of Pride: "Got To Have You Back", "Chain of Love" and "The Love Parade".[n 1] However, none of the singles released reached the top 40 in the UK Singles Chart.
