Biography

UB40 have spent the last few years doing what many bands in such an exalted position would do. Having sold 50 million albums and become global superstars, they have spread their wings and diversified.

They have collaborated with Jamaica's dancehall legends and worked with the fathers of reggae. In 2003, they even recorded Swing Low, the anthem for the England rugby team's triumphant World Cup… Read more in Amazon's UB40 Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

UB40 are not great innovators, but they are great imitators, and, in a sense, Labour of Love made them the Pat Boone of reggae. Featuring a handsome and clean-cut (by reggae standards) white singer, Ali Campbell, UB40 covered Jamaican standards and turned millions of Americans and Europeans on to another form of black music. Interestingly enough, the album's smash hit, "Red Red Wine", was a cover of a rocksteady cover of a Neil Diamond track. Being that UB40 had the pick of the reggae litter, Labour of Love is chock full of stellar material. From Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross" to the Melodians' "Sweet Sensation" to Johnny Clarke's "Keep On Moving", Labour of Love still serves as an excellent reggae starter kit. -- Bill Crandall

Fantastic album if you like UB40, I had this album years ago on tape and just had to have it to add to my cd collection. I know every track on the album. Excellent service from the seller and would buy again from them. Very Happy!!!!!!

UB40, the best group to hit this country. Amazing voices, pity they have now split with their original singer.

i have grown up on reggae, and i have heard the originals but UB40 will always be one of my favorites even though they have copied there stuff from old masters.
worth buying if you like reggae
