THE HUMAN LEAGUE – THE VIRGIN YEARS BOXSET

Description

The Human League’s four studio albums and one EP from the 1980s are brought together here in this special Limited Edition collectors’ box set, and each album is pressed on different coloured vinyl. The group was one of the most influential and successful bands of the early 1980s, and released ‘Dare’, which was one of the most iconic albums of the time; some say one of the greatest albums ever made. It launched the band across the globe and still is an outstanding listen. Next, in the Spring of 1983 the group released the six-track EP ‘Fascination’, which features the singles ‘(Keep Feeling) Fascination’ in its extended forms, ‘Mirror Man’ and a new track ‘I Love You Too Much’. The group re-recorded the latter track for the ‘Hysteria’ album, which appeared in May 1984, which also contained three hit singles ‘The Lebanon’, ‘Life On Your Own’ & ‘Louise’. Two years later, the band recorded the album ‘Crash’ with the production team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The change paid off, as it returned The Human League to the top of the US charts with the massive hit ‘Human’. The group recorded ‘Romantic?’ as their final LP with Virgin Records: it featured the hit single ‘Heart Like A Wheel’ and saw the band reunite with ‘Dare’ producer Martin Rushent. All four albums and the EP are here in their entirety, and are presented with their original artwork, housed in a sturdy outer box and with a poster also included.
