Just announced, The Human League (supported by Soft Cell/Alison Moyet), first U.S. tour in over a decade!

No Austin show scheduled, but I may be able to squeeze in Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona in June!

I have loved these guys and gals since Dare!, and I can't wait to make this happen.


So Marc is still going out as Soft Cell after Dave's death?


I'd find that a hard sell, David.   Wink


 Grin The promotional info for the show says "Soft Cell," which could only mean Marc sans Dave Ball. Bittersweet to say the least, as it is my understanding Dave's death came as a shock to Marc and everyone around them.

My copy of R/Evolution arrived yesterday, and I've been dipping into it the last couple of days, and it is a thing of wonder. 7 CDs of music, 1 DVD of filmed performances and two big thick booklets as well.


I'm on to disc 4 which has a few tracks by Five Hand Reel from a couple of Peel sessions. I think this is the first time I've ever heard FHR and on googling them I see that Simon Nicol produced their third album Earl O' Moray. I may have to get a copy of that one.



I felt the same. On looking at Amazon I discovered that if you click to buy the MP3 version for £6.99 you actually get all three of their first albums for that price which seemed a real bargain to me (this maybe should also be in the Bargain Bin thread!). Anyway, I have dived in...


I had the Earl O'Moray LP many years ago. I too have dived in for the 3LP MP3 D/L.

I found Earl O' Moray on the Talking Elephant website and have also ordered a copy of the Simon & Swarb album When We Were Very Young.

I get most of my mp3 downloads from 7Digital or Bandcamp. I really only use Amazon if I can't find an album anywhere else.

Can anyone date this for me?  It's obviously pre-divorce but beyond that I'm struggling a tad...

Those three albums (but especially the first two) are among my all time favourites.  Proper folk rock
