More Info
Following a greatest hits compilation in the late 90s the Human League signed to the Papillon label. The line-up of Philip Oakey, Susan Sulley and Joanne Catherall recorded the “Secrets” album, with keyboard player NeilSutton, who co-wrote most of the songs with Oakey, and programmer David Beevers providing the trademark Human League sound.
The album’s release in 2001 was preceded by the single “All I Ever Wanted”, but both the single and album lost promotion and sales when Papillon ran into financial difficulties and was closed shortly after the album’s release.
The 2LP new edition has been expertly mastered by Cicely Balston at AIR Mastering from the original stereo tapes using precision half-speed mastering. Half-speed mastering is a vinyl cutting technique that improves groove accuracy and transient information creating an incredibly detailed stereo image with a natural high frequency response.
Presented in its original sleeve, pressed on 2 x 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl, featuring an obi strip and housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve, with all the lyrics and credits on the 4 page insert.
The 2CD expanded edition features a non-album B-side, along with seven very rare remixes of “All I Ever Wanted” plus a further seven extremely rare remixes of “You’ll Be = Sorry” and “Love Me Madly?”, which were only released in Canada and The Netherlands respectively.
The two CDs are presented in brand new seven-inch deluxe gatefold packaging, with an 8-page booklet which includes the lyrics and credits.
