Reviews
Show All 16 Reviews- Great album. Original pressing sounds brilliant too with nice clear mastering and a slightly less harsh analogue sound. Prefer it to the CD.
Proberly the best album of the year 1981 and at the same time the best Human League album.
OK how about this? Is the "Love and dancing" re-mix better than the "Dare" original? I think it is but am I alone in this opinion?- V2192/A2 TOWNHOUSE great pressing lovely soundstage and plenty of detail available. Pretty good dynamics too.
- This pressing sounds great. Love the gatefold. If you love pop, buy it. If you love goth, buy it. If you love punk, buy it. If you love electronic.... Surely you own it?
A friend introduced me to this album, I laughed at first, but then I picked up this vinyl pretty cheap within a few days. 
Lyrics sheet for my pressing has surprising errors; 'I Guess It's Just What I Must Do' is written as 'I Guess it's Something I Must Do'
Dug this out after about 30yrs since last played, fantastic, my copy came with a poster, which isn't mentioned here
It's a good album, just not a good Human League Mk1 album- Why has this album never been reissued with all of the consequent extended versions and such?
- Seconds is the most classic song on this album. I have it when I bought the original release. Excellent album from the ongoers of Heaven 17
