Love and Dancing is a remix album released by The Human League in 1982. It was released under the name The League Unlimited Orchestra as a nod to Barry White's disco-era Love Unlimited Orchestra.
Principally the idea and work of producer (the late) Martin Rushent, it contained remixes of many of the songs from their multi-platinum selling album Dare, along with a version Hard Times, which had originally been the B-side of the single Love Action. It was conceived and released to take advantage of the unexpected huge success of Dare and was also designed to buy the Human League time to work on new material
Rushent described working on Love and Dancing during an interview in 2007:
The dub mixes started because we didn't have time to do 'B' sides, We'd send Virgin Records a track and they'd want to rush-release it. I'd been listening to Grandmaster Flash and played it to Phil. He liked it so I suggested doing a remix of "Love Action" by chopping it up and adding effects, then we could get Virgin off our backs!
When it was all finished I had four or five remixes. Phil wasn't sure about releasing them on an album and left me to make Love and Dancing on my own. It was mixed on a board, so I had the multitrack of Dare feeding in, a Harmonizer on send one, delay lines and phasers everywhere and I'd flick it about. I'd do a section and if I liked it I'd make a tape cut and splice it in. There were thousands of edits on the master and it took forever to do.
I've left the tracks on this post without splits or cues just as they were pressed on the vinyl. All lovingly ripped, de-clicked and FLAC'ed up for your enjoyment.
