Ive always liked The Human League, even with the girls in the group. I could never put my finger on it, but it never stopped me knowning why i liked them.

This is where meet and discuss the pioneering synthesizer outfit The Human League and their future 21st Century tribute band, also conveniently called The Human League! There's quite a few differences, some noted on the fantastic Human League Mk1 website Blind Youth http://www.blindyouth.co.uk/ The CD re-issues usefully add all the tracks from the first three Human League singles (not including I Don't Depend On You, which was released under the pseudonym of The Men). Note though that some of these tracks are not taken from the original master tapes, but have been transferred from the original records, and surface noise is occasionally audible. Curiously, the CD version included small changes to two of the original album tracks - Almost Medieval and The Path Of Least Resistance. Also, the Fast Product version of Circus Of Death lacks the short sample of dialogue included at the end of the Being Boiled B-side. One other small point - the extra track Being Boiled does not fade out, as on the original single release and the 1988 Greatest Hits compilation, but is presented in its entirety. It's possible that the master tape for this track no longer exists, at least in its original form, as synthesizer overdubs and new vocals were added to the track for one of the group's demo tapes, though hopefully this is not the case. Note: initial copies of the 2003 remastered CD listed Circus Of Death as Circus Of Love (!). This was rectified on later copies. Another difference that I noted on The Path of Least Resistance vinyl & CD ('88 issue) was the intro section: the vinyl version, the song comes in on the synth, whereas on the CD the song comes in on the kick drum. Thank you for posting this Garry! I never heard about this CD and I love the early Human League. Will order a copy next!!
