UB40 Labour Of Love

Originally released in 1983, Labour Of Love is a landmark album that helped bring reggae to a global audience. With this release, UB40 reinterpreted songs they admired, blending classic reggae foundations with their own laid-back, melodic style and unmistakable British influence.

The album includes enduring favourites such as “Red Red Wine,” “Cherry Oh Baby,” “Keep On Moving,” and “Many Rivers To Cross,” each defined by warm basslines, relaxed rhythms and soulful performances that have stood the test of time. The record’s smooth, accessible sound played a key role in introducing reggae to mainstream listeners while retaining deep respect for its roots.

This Deluxe Edition 2LP set is pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, delivering enhanced depth, clarity and dynamic range. In addition to the original album, the expanded format includes alternate versions, dub mixes and extended cuts spread across two records, offering a richer and more immersive listening experience.

A timeless reggae classic and an essential addition to any vinyl collection, Labour Of Love remains a beautifully crafted celebration of the genre, presented here in a premium deluxe vinyl edition.
