THE HUMAN LEAGUE
IN DARKNESS (unofficial 'bootleg' album)
LP, RTS003Blind Youth (demo) Dancevision (demo) Interface (listed as Year Of The Jet Packs) (demo) No Time (Radio One) Again The Eye Again (demo) You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (Radio One) Toyota City (demo) Being Boiled (Radio One) Blind Youth [Progression] (Radio One)
This is an illegal release, issued without the consent of The Human League, Virgin Records or the BBC, and was not available in the average high street record shop.
I bought this at a record fair around 1980/81 the record is in excellent condition with the sleeve showing slight signs of age.
However, despite the poor sound quality of the record, it is of some interest to fans, as it features unreleased material from 1979's so-called Human league cassette', plus other recordings made for John Peel's influential late-night show on BBC Radio One, also in 1979. Of the demo recordings, two were commercially released, unchanged: Toyota City appeared on the free Only After Dark single, and Dancevision was part of both the Holiday 80 ep Two of the remaining three demos (Blind Youth and Again The Eye Again) were later re-recorded for the Reproduction album (Again The Eye Again would be re-titled The Word Before Last). The mis-labelled Interface is an instrumental which remains officially unreleased on vinyl or CD, . The demos are separated by the Dominion jingle', though this is not listed on the sleeve or label. The Radio One recording, No Time, is another early version of The Word Before Last. This was re-recorded for the Reproduction album, as were Blind Youth and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (which is rather shorter and slightly faster in this version, and excludes Reproduction's segue with Morale..).
