hmmm. Good. I didn't know about this. I remember Pet Shop Boys'"Disco",
that was also one of the first remix albums (1984, if I'm not wrong) and it
seems to have a few similarities with the Human League release you mention.
I.e. it contained a few songs from a previous album and "Paninaro" that if
I'm not wrong wasn't available as a single at the time.
I also remember that it ended up soon in Emi's nice price catalogue... heh...
bye,

We will not swallow. We will chew, and then spit.
We will play with our food, and create something
new and interesting from it.
