Labour of Love II

UB40 released this album in November 1989, just as reggae was beginning to branch out beyond its roots. It was a cover album, like the first one they’d made, but this time with a more personal touch. Some songs made it big, like “Here I Am,” which reached number 7 in the U.S., or “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” which peaked at number 6. There was also a cover of “Kingston Town” that made it into the top 4 of the UK Singles Chart.

About the album

Labour of Love II, according to DoReSol

What’s interesting is that the album was released in two versions: one with 10 tracks and another with 14. The difference was based on the country, as if they had different audiences in mind. Later, in 1991, they combined it with the first cover album into a compilation. And in 2003, they re-released it along with the other two, as part of a larger collection.
