Being Boiled : ripped from a 7" vinyl single released on Fast Product (FAST 4) in 1980 to lossless FLAC audio. This is the second pressing of the original mono single but with added stereo overdubs.
A. Being Boiled
B. Circus Of Death
Older readers may well remember nasty Saturday night British TV, where the BBC would waste the licence payers money by sending combover 70's celebs around the nations seaside resorts in a huge tent to perform as crass self indulgent variety acts. It was awful. I seem to remember its started as Holiday '75 and ended in the early '80s. This crackly little double 7" EP was The Human League's parody of their TV exploits back then.
Released in a multitude of versions, it broke the the lower reaches of the charts and was responsible for eventually breaking the band, though with yet another version of Being Boiled and a horrible Gary Glitter cover. Bands just don't cover Gary Glitter these days.
Holiday '80 EP : ripped from a very scratchy and slightly warped double 7" gatefold pack released on Virgin Records in 1980 (SV 105) to lossless FLAC audio. Allegedly a limited edition of just 15,000 copies - which wasn't considered many back then.
A. Marianne
B. Dancevision
C. Being Boiled
D. Rock'n'Roll/Nightclubbing

Great singles, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteEhm,for me Rock'n'Roll was a great Gary Glitter Cover,Nightclubbin' was a true horrible Iggy Pop cover,but luckily i had the short version...sadly bands don't cover GG today...cheers!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought The Human League were a geat pop band. But in their early days they had an edge which was cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the treat.
Just to set your ailing memory correct "Holiday '75", etc, were actually travel guides a la "Wish You Were Here", that ran from 1969 right through to the 90's. The shitty entertainment show you speak of was "Seaside Special"... By the way, I wish I didn't remember this!
ReplyDeleteNice site!!!
