The band defended their decision to make an album of cover versions, stating that they had always wanted to make reggae for a wide audience. Robin Campbell said, "We actually set out in the first place to popularise reggae. That was our intention." [5] His brother Ali added, "What we want to do is play heavy dub reggae. But if we came straight out doing that, it would never have gotten on the radio. We commercialize our music all the time; it's been a series of compromises."

Enter Labour of Love in the "Artiest of titel" box. Select 1984 in the drop-down menu saying "Alle jaargangen". The band has been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984, were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. One of the world's best-selling music artists, UB40 have sold over 70 million records. But both factions agree on one thing: they remain proud of their achievements, if a little aggrieved that UB40 don’t get more respect. “I watch the BBC programmes about 80s music, and it never ceases to amaze me how few times we’re on them,” says Robin. “We had 39 Top 40 records. It never seems to be recognised. It does piss me off, but I’m used to it by now. I guess we’ll all have to die first!” Labour of Love II is the ninth album and second covers album by UB40, released in 1989. The album contained two top-ten Billboard Hot 100 hits – " Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" peaked at No. 7, " The Way You Do the Things You Do" peaked at No. 6 – and " Kingston Town" reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart.

Nonetheless, the initial Labour of Love, released in 1983, is the point at which UB40 surrendered their anti-establishment kudos. “For some people we had sold out,” says Robin. “We went commercial, went soft, forgot our politics. But it wasn’t a permanent thing. The albums that came after were nothing like it. But you get fans even now saying, ‘Oh, they changed after Labour of Love, I stopped listening.’ Your loss, mate!” Cherry Oh Baby. 2) Keep On Moving. 3) Please Don't Make Me Cry. 4) Sweet Sensation. 5) Johnny Too Bad. 6) Red Red Wine. 7) Guilty. 8) She Caught The Train. 9) Version Girl. 10) Many Rivers To Cross. A second swing at the all-cover version formula, Labour of Love II doesn't even come close to the lively original. It's encouraging to see a more interesting set of selections and it would lead one to think that the album isn't a contrived cash-in. Too bad the band falls prey to the same antiseptic digital production that was marginalizing much of the dancehall scene. Labour of Love II downplays the band's driving horn section in favor of sterile keyboards and electronic percussion replaces acoustic. Covers of R&B chestnuts "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" and "The Way You Do the Things You Do" are enjoyable enough, but the band has a harder time adding much to the reggae-sourced numbers. Only the Heptones' wonderful "Baby" gets a decent workout, with the rest only serving as reminders of how well the originals were written. It would take the band four years to return to the studio, perhaps an indication of the fatigue and doldrums affecting this album.
