The Human League are collecting the best of their 1980s and early 1990s output with a brand new box set. 

Between 1981 and 1990, the group released four studio albums and one EP on Virgin Records – all of which have been collected for a special limited edition coloured vinyl release.

The Human League ‘Mark Two’ – as they have been described – set the charts alight with ‘Dare’ back in 1981, which they followed-up with the six-track EP ‘Fascination’, featuring the single (Keep Feeling) Fascination, in 1983.

‘Hysteria’ arrived the following year, featuring the hit singles The Lebanon, Life On Your Own and Louise, before they returned to the top of the US charts with Human from the Jam & Lewis-produced ‘Crash’ in 1986.

After a break in 1988 for a greatest hits album, the group returned with ‘Romantic?’ in 1990, from which the hit single Heart Like A Wheel saw the band reunite with ‘Dare’ producer Martin Rushent a decade later.

In addition, the remix album ‘Love And Dancing’, initially released in 1982, was recently reissued on white vinyl for Record Store Day.

‘The Human League: The Virgin Years’ is out November 11 and available to pre-order now.
