This album seems to have created a rift in the UB40 fan base. It seems that people either think it is a rip-off, or a work of genius. It would be interesting to know the age and background of the people who have voiced an opinion, but my guess is as follows. Those in their late 30's and 40's (myself included) who grew up with reggae in the late 60's and 70's and have followed UB40 from the late 70's will see this as one of their best albums. Far better than volumes 1 and 2 (which I still think are well worth listening too) and on a par with 'Signing Off', 'Promises and Lies' and 'Guns in the Ghetto'. Younger people, and those on the fringes of reggae in the 60's and 70's - and this is in no way meant to be offensive - will probably not like it so much. It is not as 'light and fluffy' as the previous 2 LoL's with the possible exception of 'Come Back Darling' which will bring back wonderful memories to those of us who remember the original.

I used to hear UB40 practicing in the Eagle and Tun in Birmingham - and I saw them in concert in Philadelphia last year. They are professional to the core and would never produce a rip-off album. Everything they do is a true labour of love, and much as I oppose their pro-drug stand I hope they continue to produce a mixture of original music and cover versions for many years to come.

They still have it going on. Their music always makes me happy (it's the reggae). (Their concert was great too). One of my favourite songs of the album is Mr. fix it, but the rest is great also. I recommend this album to everyone who likes to hear nice relaxed music!!

The most misunderstood band in the US music world. Perfect for if you're tired of everything else out there. It's sort of 'pop-rock-blues-reggae' (No wonder the music industry doesn't know what to do with them!) Very listenable, even if you know nothing of reggae.

It is a great album, I already have it and have listened to it several times. Every one needs this album in their collection.

Having been a fan of UB40 for many years I initially found this newest release by the group different from their other choices in covers, but after more than one listen it became my favourite CD of all time. Holly Holy, It's My Delight, Come Back Darling, The Train Is Coming, and Mr. Fix It all show what extrodinary talents UB40 has. Labour of Love III not only contains the raggae feel UB40 is known for, but it has a groove unlike any other music out there. This newest compilation is the groovinest, most danceable melodies I've heard from the UB's to date. If you don't already have it, you're missing out!
