Product Information

Left Hanging: The song "Human" is all about a guy who cheated on his lover and is remorseful and asking her forgiveness. At the end she does forgive him, then admits she cheated too and asks for the same charity from him. The song ends without saying whether he did or not, although one would certainly hope so, as he'd be a world class hypocrite otherwise.

One day somebody said "what sorts of cymbals do you want, a ride or a crash?", and we thought, "what a great title!" Although the group has been retrospectively identified with the New Romantic movement of this period, [21] according to Dave Rimmer, author of New Romantics: The Look, "at the time [they] were no such thing." [22] The band themselves have also consistently and strenuously rejected the label. The Sheffield scene in which the Human League formed predated New Romanticism and took more influence from Kraftwerk. Bands in the Sheffield scene were also referred to as Futurists, [23] although Oakey himself has said: "We thought we were the punkiest band in Sheffield." [24] In 2003, a second single from Secrets, " Love Me Madly?", was released independently as a private venture by Nukove, a small independent label especially set up to release Human League material, but it did not have funds for promotion and the single did not chart.

However, for its Travelogue release it was edited two minutes shorter for time reasons. The single "Only After Dark" does include the original long version as a B-side, but this received such poor distribution that importing the Japanese EP is more common.

Romantic? is notably the only one of the Virgin-era albums to be excluded from the band's remastering campaign in the early 2000s. The album represented the band's career at its nadir (which the band themselves commented on in "The Stars Are Going Out?"), generated only a modest UK hit in "Heart Like a Wheel", and undersold, leading both the band and Virgin to ignore its existence (outside a couple Japanese reissues) until its inclusion in the 2022 Boxed Set The Virgin Years.
