UB40 / Present Arms and Labour of Love deluxe details confirmed The new album builds confidently on the momentum gathered in the five years since Astro rejoined singer Campbell and keyboardist Virtue in A former member of Simply Red who joined forces with Campbell seven years ago, Johnson played on the album but passed away the night before the rest of the group were due to play a benefit concert to raise money for his cancer treatment.

That the trio succeed in this goal is something of a quiet triumph. Where the first three Labour of Loves were records drawing upon a rich reggae legacy, A Real Labour of Love by and large concentrates on reggae songs originally released in the s - meaning, songs that were written and recorded when the group was an active concern. The content of A Real Labour of Love is a call to arms, too.
