The Human League Secrets (Half-Speed Master Black)
Following a greatest hits compilation in the late 90s The Human League signed to the Papillon label. The line-up of Philip Oakey, Susan Sulley and Joanne Catherall recorded the "Secrets" album, with keyboard player Neil Sutton, who co-wrote most of the songs with Oakey, and programmer David Beevers providing the trademark Human League sound. • The album's release in 2001 was preceded by the single "All I Ever Wanted", but both the single and album lost promotion and sales when Papillon ran into financial difficulties and was closed shortly after the album's release. • This 2LP new edition has been expertly mastered by Cicely Balston at AIR Mastering from the original stereo tapes using precision half-speed mastering. Half-speed mastering is a vinyl cutting technique that improves groove accuracy and transient information creating an incredibly detailed stereo image with a natural high frequency response. • Presented in it's original sleeve, pressed on 2 x 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl, featuring an obi strip and housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve, with all the lyrics and credits on the 4 page insert.
