Howard Jones - Human's Lib - Japanese Vintage Vinyl
Human's Lib is the 1984 debut from Howard Jones, the English synth pop songwriter who built his sound from banks of keyboards and drum machines. It went straight to number one on the UK album chart and introduced his upbeat, thoughtful take on electronic pop.
The album carries the hits that made his name: "New Song", with its call to throw off your mental chains, the lush "What Is Love?", "Hide And Seek" and "Pearl In The Shell". Deeper cuts like "Conditioning", "Equality" and the closing title track show the optimistic, questioning lyrics that set him apart from his peers.
This is the Japanese edition on WEA, catalogue P-11469, made by Warner-Pioneer. Japanese pressings from the mid-eighties are sought after for their clean, quiet vinyl, which suits the crisp synthesizer layers and punchy drum programming here.
An essential piece of eighties synth pop for any new wave collection.
