ya, me too! remastered reissues of Dazzle Ships (my fave) and Junk Culture would be great, especially because Dazzle Ships sounds really thin (dunno if it is mixed like that on purpose), and to have the 312mm version of "Genetic Engineering," "Extended Telegraph," and the full version of "66 and Fading" on one disc would be awesome! the Junk Culture era had a ton of remixes and live tracks (like "Julia's Song" and "Waiting for the Man" with a real brass section!), and a handful of b-sides that did not appear on "Navigation."
Crush" and The Pacific Age i wouldn't mind too much for not having a remastered version.

hmmm... i dunno which issue you have of the first two albums, because the last time it was issued on CD, it has the same tracklisting as the reissues this year, it's just that these are remastered. anyway, they add a lot of bonus tracks ot top of the ORIGINAL vinyl releases.
Reporduction adds the original "Fast Product" versions of "Being Boiled" and "Circus of Death," all four "The Dignity of Labour" tracks, and two others.
Travelogue adds the excellent "Marianne," "Dancevision," and "Rock 'n' Roll/Nightclubbing" from the Holiday '80 EP (the re-recorded version of "Being Boiled" from the EP already appears on the album proper), both tracks from the "Boys and Girls" single (first songs without Marsh/Ware), and both tracks from "I Don't Depend on You" single when they recorded as The Men, which was the "testing" single when Virgin signed The League.
Dare! comes in a special 21st Anniversary Digipak booklet (at least the UK version did, i think the US version comes in a regular jewel case) with special photos and liner notes, and has 1982's Love and Dancing remix album tacked on. i hate the fact that "Don't You Want Me" and "Do or Die" remixes are sped up. iwould've put on all six tracks of the Fascination! EP instead, which to my knowledge was never released on CD.
Dusty, ever noticed Visage's "Fade to Grey" completely stole the chords off "Being Boiled?" a little bit of Human League trivia...
did you pick up the reissued UK version of "The Very Best of The Human League?" it has a bonus disc of excellent remixes.
also, earlier this year, OMD reissued The Singles in France, and adds a bonus disc of remixes as well, containing an excellent brand new remix of "Enola Gay," all the 1998 remixes including all the Moby versions of "Souvenir," the full version of Sash!'s "Enola Gay" without the cheesy doumentary dialogue, and the remixes of "Joan of Arc" and "Maid of Orleans" which was never released before. some of the remixes are not that good, but just FYI anyway...
| Originally posted by Dusty Chalk Lz, yes! But where the L is Dazzle Ships?!?!? Sure hope there's another batch coming, but even so, it should've been in the first batch (I thought 'Junk Culture' was a pretty big departure). |

| Originally posted by Dusty Chalk I didn't know that. I didn't pick those up, as I had the originals. Worth it?Yeah, Hysteria was probably more in line with Dare, but those first two albums were just groundbreaking. I love tracks like "Black Hit of Space", "Crow and a Baby" and of course "Being Boiled". |
