Human League Anthology - A Very British Synthesizer Band

[BigManRestless]

According to a friend who has connections with the HL camp at least two different demo versions of I Don't Depend On You have be found with an archive trawl and one of them could surface on the Anthology.

It would be great if they could go down this route even if its a deluxe CD with at least one CD of some rarities , there have been too many compilations and to do the great band some justice and their fans this needs to be a bit different

So we might get to see the Australian Travelogue version of Marianne then after all if they are taking this approach

a little bit more excited about this now

Wish it was more than 2cds though or even including a DVD of all their videos.

They already released a DVD with all their videos and having released 17 compilations over the years we certainly don't need another one.

Are you talking about the 2003 DVD? It's missing a few videos and of course doesn't include the Credo videos.

Of course they are talking about the 2003 DVD. Dear oh dear!

A shame that the "Love Me Madly" single isn't on the set.

[humanracer]

And what is their source?

[thunderbird2]

looks quite impressive if true but from a personal perspective still no Marianne version from the Australian version of travelogue

[moni]

The only interesting thing about this is the 3rd CD but then you will probably have to fork out a fortune to get it. The DVD with the videos looks like a repeat of the last one with 3 tracks from that rubbish album Credo tagged on.

The Filling Up With Heaven promo wasn't on the previous DVD, and that only had 3 TOTP appearances. Have you overlooked the other 20 odd tracks? For what could have been yet another boring best of it looks like there's been some thought put into this. Personally I can't wait!

[moni]

I never noticed Filling Up With Heaven obviously there are only two tracks from Credo my mistake. I don't know why it's listed as being after All I Ever Wanted because it came out long before that.

Just a bit sad that it still misses 'These are the days' from Jools Holland 1995 - just the same as on the 'Very Best Of' DVD...
At least a few edits + rarer Versions. CD3 is of course very nice and makes the set a must have. Great they add the BBC appearances as well.

1. No TIED
2. No live tracks
3. Why include RnR? It's by Gary Glitter. Puts me off buying it.
