On this day, November 27, 1989, UB40 released their fourth studio album, Labour of Love II. As a follow-up to their highly successful Labour of Love, this album continued the band’s tradition of reinterpreting classic reggae and pop songs with their signature style.

The album peaked at #15 on the Billboard charts in the U.S. and topped the charts in the UK, Netherlands, and New Zealand. Labour of Love II featured tracks like “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” and reintroduced “Red Red Wine,” which had already become a global hit for the band, cementing their reputation as reggae-pop icons.
