Labour Of Love

Product Information

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Now with ‘A Real Labour Of Love’ the trio give us a fresh take on the legendary series of albums, putting the focus primarily on reggae tracks from the 1980s, a decade that saw dancehall reggae enter the mainstream.

Originally released in 1983, Labour of Love was the band’s fourth LP release and is made up entirely of UB40’s cover versions of songs by some of their favourite musical idols. We are available to book for live shows and events, as well as bespoke licensed music for videos, commercials, TV, film and more. The concept isn’t a rigid one: Stevie Wonder’s ‘A Place In The Sun’ is a Motown classic from 1966, and there are numbers from the late Seventies in Dennis Brown’s sublime ‘How Could I Leave’ and Culture’s ‘International Herb’.

EX (Excellent): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality.

But most of the tracks on ‘A Real Labour Of Love’ are from the Eighties, a decade that saw dancehall reggae enter the mainstream. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The new album builds confidently on the momentum gathered in the five years since Astro rejoined singer Ali and keyboardist Mickey in 2013.
