Labour Of Love is the album where UB40 connected traditional reggae with a wider pop audience, introducing many listeners to classic songs through a distinctly British lens. Originally released in 1983, the record focuses on respectful reinterpretations rather than reinvention, staying close to the spirit of the original material while giving it a clear, contemporary sound.
This 2016 deluxe reissue presents Labour Of Love across two 180 gram LPs, offering space and warmth to the arrangements. Featuring tracks such as “Please Don’t Make Me Cry,” “Johnny Too Bad,” “Guilty,” and “Version Girl,” this edition is pressed in Holland and includes a download code for digital listening, making it a well-rounded way to experience one of UB40’s most important releases.
