Labour of Love – UB40 (Vinyl 12" LP)

Released in 1983, Labour of Love is the fourth studio album by British reggae/pop band UB40, and the project that propelled them to international fame. Consisting entirely of reggae cover versions of classic tracks from the 1960s and 1970s, the album was a heartfelt tribute to the Jamaican music that inspired the band. With production handled by the band members themselves, Labour of Love is both a commercial triumph and a cultural homage, driven by its chart-topping single Red Red Wine.

Key Highlights

- Represents a smooth, radio-friendly take on classic reggae, with UB40’s signature pop sensibility
- Pressed on quality vinyl, often featuring original 1980s artwork and inner sleeve notes
