The Human League To Release Two-Disc Deluxe Reissue of 'Dare!' Album & 'Fascination' EP
Friday, 24 February 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
The Human League are to release a two-disc deluxe reissue of their seminal 1981 album 'Dare!' and follow-up EP 'Fascination'.
In 1980, the NME front cover proclaimed “One day all music will be made like this.” 'Dare!' seems unassailable as a landmark of electronic pop, synthesizers and digital equipment as modern pop's standard tools.
'Open Your Heart' and the classic single 'Don’t You Want Me' were hits on both sides of the Atlantic, the latter a UK Number One, which ensured 'Dare!' topped the British charts. At the time, 'Dare!' appealed to housewives and students, electronic boffins and people who bought one record a year. Thirty years on, both the above tracks and 'The Things That Dreams Are Made Of' are still the most in demand in their live set.
The two disc set will feature 6 postcards, 2 wallets and a 16 page booklet.
