Original Remixes & Rarities

A grab bag of extended mixes and otherwise neglected moments from the Human League’s catalog, focusing on Dare! through Romantic?, Original Remixes & Rarities is a useful accessory for fans but — unsurprisingly — it’s not the least bit essential for anyone else. Highlights include the extended versions of “Sound of the Crowd,” “Don’t You Want Me” (which is also instrumental), “Life on Your Own,” and “The Lebanon,” as well as a dub of “(Keep Feeling) Fascination” and the relatively irascible version of “Being Boiled” that appeared on Travelogue (the only inclusion that dates from the League’s pre-coed lineup). – Andy Kellman
