That One 80ies Record That Covers It All

[@Mud_honey]

I wish you a happy, and a hopefully relaxed 2025. Keep it up...

[@stefanwerner6676]

Love the new format, and ´being boiled‘, keep it up, Greetings from Stefan

[@conradpoos2859]

Thank you for your memories of the 80's. In 1981, a friend let me listen to "Home" by Lene Lovich on his Sony Walkman. And on that day, my life was never the same as I stopped listening to Styx.

[@jeromebattilega5057]

like the new format we are around the same age I remember that time time in music very well. happy new year keep up the good work

[@donaldson57]

The change of format is excellent ! Cheers!

[@anderseklund231]

Lovely video! This era and style of music is very dear to my heart and I rarely hear someone on KZbin talk about it so lovingly as you did here. The British underground scene around the end of the 70s-beginning of the 80s is a wealth of musical experimentation. Thanks for this!

[@aaronrojas5399]

Such a Fantastic time for new music.

[@Just.asillygober]

Love this content. thank you Michael for your passion and love of all music! maybe center focus would be a better option to eliminate focus breathing, tracking your hands occasionally.

[@mathewriley5101]

Enjoyed the new format! Would LOVE a Clock DVA video!

[@VagueRANT100]

Happy New Year Michael.....Love this Exciting Format.....at my age hormones are a thing of the past,though the Primeval Sound of BEING BOILED had me laying down some tasty moves with my trusty Walking Frame!!

[@wijnandvandenberg4805]

Thank you Michael for this new format. I am here on KZbin mainly to discover new music. Hearing the music that is talked about passionately really ads to the whole experience. Thanx for your time producing these videos 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@Chasing_records]

Good stuff man. Will have to get this one!

[@ThomasPatek-ye2ob]

Eine super emotionale Zeitreise wie ich 16 Jahre war Vielen Dank Michael!

[@Daniel-hk3ru]

Enjoy the new format, incorporating the music to help highlight the artist you are reviewing. You have the talent to keep individuals attention no matter which direction you choose. The Music That Matters - Thank you Michael.

[@moz912]

Being Boiled is such an awesome song. Happy new year!

[@Becky-1970]

…wie so oft bei Deinen Vorstellungen kommen tolle Erinnerungen auf Vielen Dank für die vielen Anregungen und neuen Entdeckungen in 24. guten Rutsch auf ein musikalisch spannendes neues Jahr 🎉

[@scottwheeler2679]

"Dancing your name with a broken leg." That was pretty great metaphor. Especially in a second language.

[@matthewtapley2765]

Great video! Never was aware of this album. I do love eighties music and appreciate it even more today. I was 10 in ‘81 when I started really listening to music. The new format is an excellent idea!!

[@djsocki]

Hallo Michael, dieses Format ist gut, mach mal weiter so 👍 Freue mich auf weiteres Video-Material. Ich wünsche dir ein guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Man sieht sich 😄👍

[@Michael45RPM]

Das wünsche ich dir auch. Auf bald!

[@joernfaber523]

Very very nice. Thank you! Great Album, nice presented in an interesting new format. I like that!

[@stefandebusmucke2907]

Great idea to combine some background information and your interpretation with the sound samples. Happy new year and hope to see you in 2025 in the cafe 😃

[@ritterandi66]

Hallo Michael, das Format ist perfekt! Zuerst der theoretische Einblick und dann das Musikstück dazu- das habe ich schon oft vermisst wenn es um besondere Alben geht. Danke Dir für die tollen Videos dieses Jahr und die sinnvolle Freizeitgestaltung, diese genießen zu können.

[@DonKnorzio]

Genau so muss es. Lg

[@hogweed1960]

Als 60er Jahrgang bin ich mit der Musik erwachsen geworden! Einfach ein großartiger, wegweisender Sound. Die Heaven 17 Penthouse and Pavement höre ich schon seit Jahrzehnten immer wieder mal. Und natürlich auf Vinyl! Auch so eine Scheibe, die immer aktuell ist! Ich habe immer noch die Erstpressung und spiele die! Beste Grüße aus Oldenburg! Jörg

[@sjbang5764]

You are amazing. I have never heard of this particular Human Leage album. Beautiful presentation, thank you, Michael. PS You're English is perfectly fine, much better than my German. Thanks, again.

[@Michael45RPM]

My pleasure!

[@sixtonnesdechair]

Nice one Michael, i've always considered your one shot videos as the best of its kind, nice frame, nice light, nice sound and great purposes. Excited about your Scorsese move now 😉, and yes of course, the Human League 😍

[@MrJasonMeans]

I like the new format. I appreciate you giving us a sneak peek as you’re talking about the album and do the full play at the end. Btw, English is my only language and I have two right feet when dancing my name in it.

[@liammolyneuxmusic]

Michael your English videos are amazing you are able to connect all the nuances in what is your second language. Wow Human League an absolute beauty an amazing find. Vinyl is such a beautiful medium perfectly summed up when you have a record like Human League .

[@michaellindsay4456]

New format... GENIUS!! Plus we get to see your gorgeous turntable all the time 👍 Also my favorite genre of music being in the clubs all the time 🎉

[@SaschaAlmoneit]

Good idea to include some music from the albums you discuss, the complete songs at the end gives the opportunity to dig deeper. I like it…👍🏻

[@Nina_20xx]

Very interesting record and background stories. + the sound samples are great! 👍 Thank you.

[@peterrech2307]

Happy New Year to you Michael, hope its better than the last one.

[@mutantausw]

Danke für die Mühe! Toll gemacht😊 einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 😎

[@ryandouglas4553]

Love the new format Michael. Adds a lot of value to already insightful and informative videos.

[@Jesusspop]

Love the new format ! Still the best VC channel in my opinion, you’re a great vinyl ambassador. Happy new year Michael, best wishes to you and your loved ones !

[@ZondvIoed]

Vice Versa >> ABC Composition of Sound >> Depeche Mode The Future >> The Human League Bedsit Tapes >> everything after

[@thomaswengler8854]

Krönender Jahresabschluss. Being Boiled wurde auf dem diesjährigen Human League Konzert in Köln kläglich vermisst. War trotzdem großartig 👍 Vielen Dank für den Tipp. Leider fast so selten wie Credo und entsprechend teuer 😢

[@DC-xx4kv]

Michael, your English is excellent. My German consists of my two orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Schneider and Dr. Schnell. 😂 Happy New Year!

[@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084]

Great video, M45. The music adds a great new dimension to your presentation. Particularly, for those of us in the US. It wasn’t until much later that I realized the connection the Human League had to Krautrock. HL was really only known for a few hit singles. Of course, by then, their history had been sanitized away. Very cool to learn a little more about the band. Have a great new year. Cheers. Shawn.

[@poisonflour6723]

Love your electronic music videos. great one

[@yannick930]

Very nice 👍 A discovery for me :) The sample is appreciated, I've been also listening to all your short videos to discover new things (to me).

[@marklatkowski9327]

Very nice. Thank you, Michael. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@vonkush1341]

Hello! Responding to your request for feedback, I thoroughly enjoy the previous format. I tune in for your interesting insight & unique perspective. Your cool style, humble approach, open mind, and low-key passion keeps me coming back. I only wish there were more vids but understand that isn't easy to do. As for the new format (adding cuts), I understand the why behind it, but I am concerned (one person's opinion) it will interrupt the flow of thought that I enjoy so much. I personally don't mind seeking & playing the music you discuss on my own. It is part of the fun. I'd much rather hear what you have to say. Regardless of format, I truly appreciate your channel. Also, your English is great. No issues whatsoever.

[@Metal-Heaven-Records]

Hallo Michael, Mal wieder ein sehr schönes Video von dir! Hat sehr spaß gemacht zuzugucken. Herzliche Grüße und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr, Julian

[@Michael45RPM]

Danke gleichfalls

[@radoe8624]

really cool new genre. keep it up and happy new year Michael

[@vinylkajo]

Es gibt wenige Formate, in denen nicht nur über Musik geredet, sondern das ganze auch musikalisch untermauert wird. Das gibt den Beiträgen erst die richtige Fülle. Daher 10/10 and happy new year.

[@Michael45RPM]

Danke!

[@EricIzabelle]

Very cool video, thanks for sharing!

[@rdesjean]

This video has moved me to comment. Total thumbs up here.

[@gnutscha]

Einen guten Rutsch wünsche ich dir Michael! Hoffentlich sieht man sich mal nächstes Jahr im Café!

[@Michael45RPM]

Hoffe ich auch

[@papabear1417]

Out with the old and in with a new format. Great episode Michael. All the best for 2025

[@PhilSilv3rs]

Thank you for this Michael. I’m a big fan of The Human League in all their incarnations. Great to see & hear In Darkness on vinyl & on your wonderful turntable. Keep up this new format & very best wishes for 2025 from Ireland.

[@dirkbusche54]

Ich liebe den Song ONLY HUMAN von den League

[@machsrock4998]

I have several human league albums but not this... Sounds amazing! I will have to seek this one out. Great video!

[@moogoomoogoo5990]

I like the new format. Your English is very good. Keep the videos coming 2025.

[@michaellindsay4456]

Happy New Year to you and yours as well 🍾

[@Michael45RPM]

Same to you!

[@TTVEaGMXde]

Here you can hear that in the past it was not possible to separate artistic intention and technical ability. I couldn't find any prices, but in 1976 modern synthesizers came onto the market, and by 1980 they were becoming mail order items. So it's no wonder that there was so much new music in the early 80s. However, I didn't understand everything in the BBC documentary on the subject. If AI can translate audio in realtime (YT can't even do it without realtime) I'll look in my archive...

[@Yannick_84]

Michael, danke!

[@sue7621]

Hi Michael 🤗😘 I love listening to expert opinions on the music from you! 🙌🙌 great videos as always! Wonderful! 🙌🙌❤️Thank you ❤️💜❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️🎼🎸🎺🎷🥁🎹🥁🎤 Yes Wonderful David Bowie my absolute🎤🎸❤️🎹❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all time Favourite !

[@markorchard2272]

I think your videos are great. As is your English. I lived in Frankfurt for a while and I speak German but I’m sure it’s not as good as your English. I’m totally disabled now and can’t use vinyl or a turntable. But I love watching your channel. (I worked in Adam Opel AG with a guy who looked and sounded EXACTLY like you! 😜 I spoke in German and used English so we both could practice 😂😂)

[@markorchard2272]

‘I spoke in German and HE used English….’ it sounded so weird. People would stare!😂😜😳

[@paultaylor904]

Hello Michael. Great video. I love seeing your passion for music and vinyl. Love Human League. I was unfamiliar with this record and the song. Great stuff. 👍

[@pierreduchesne0001]

I love the new format, and for review and comment purposes, it's definitely better to have music samples. I just hope you don't get into trouble with KZbin and copyrights. I've had conversations with other KZbinrs who've had their accounts suspended due to copyright issues. Which is strange, because I think on other platforms like Instagram music samples don't seem to cause any problems. Maybe it depends on whether a KZbin account is monetarized or not. But I've always thought that album reviews with 30-second clips would lead to much better appreciations of the critics and reviews. That being said, you are interesting to listen to, with or without music samples. But music samples add something for sure. Happy New Year 2025

[@SAGNI0971]

If you haven’t already check out ‘the Sound,’ a band that didn’t hit commercially but supersede and cut through time more successfully than most of their counterparts in the ‘post-punk’ genre.

[@SOfTanzVictims]

Thank you!

[@vestaxwax]

The new format is much better than before. I only hope you're not getting hit with copyright strikes.

[@adrianjones3824]

This track is on the reproduction LP. I had an original but now have the remaster. Travelogue is another great LP that sounds great.

[@SpeedoBone]

Nice video, great throwback! You’ve lost this loving feeling is also a song released on the 1979 album Reproduction by the Human League. And being boiled is on Travelogue. This Peel versions are very very basic, they have their charm but you will find lots of beginning electro bands with this kind of basic synth sound. I like the proper albums more and they also keep that industrial rough sound.

[@ReneBerlin]

Platte cool, Video cool, guten Rutsch.

[@Popecody55]

Laid back with keep smiling

[@barriejarvis8759]

Being boiled my favorite track from them & yeah I first heard it on John peel 😎 you should check out working men’s club they are also from Sheffield

[@ralfh.5068]

Maybe somewhere the original tapes of the Peel Sessions will be found and released with a decent mastering. So interesting to hear a well loved song in its early approach. Will turn up the volume and start the shoegazing dance😅

[@passenger62]

"80ies" Never seen that before.

[@badvinyl4531]

Superb early Human League!

[@robertmitchell6015]

Hi Michael you should consider buying a DS Audio ION-001 Vinyl Ionizer, it is an anti static device

[@JBLClassic]

Hey Michael, I wasn't aware of this release. I have the Being Boiled 7", which is a way better version than what showed up on Travelogue. I've found that with Human Leage, they could have one of the corniest songs of all times, followed up by one of the greatest tracks ever, back to back. This is the case on Travelogue, which overall is a phenomenal album. On a side note, almost every Peel Sessions I've heard has been a top tier performance rivaling the studio releases. I've been collecting those since I was a kid.

[@jazzcat2075]

Nice idea, i like it. But how does this work? I thought that you can't upload any music due to the copyright issues.

[@thomasl.1506]

Das wäre dann das ideale Format um interessante Musik zu entdecken, gern jederzeit schau ich mir sowas an. The Human League hatte ich z.B. nicht auf dem Radar. Bekommt man da eigentlich Probleme mit Copyright wenn man Musik abspielt?

[@TheFlippertube]

Rekindles my irritation that the WaxTrax! Black Box wasn't on wax.

[@Mrsteve4761]

I do like the new format. However I hear a good amount of distortion in the playback, and the soundstage is collapsed to near-monophonic level. Wondering if others perceive this as well?

[@Michael45RPM]

As I said .. one of my worst sounding records 🤷‍♂️

[@Mrsteve4761]

​@@Michael45RPM Goodness, I certainly hope it is your worst by a long-shot! Didn't expect things to be to this extent. Point well taken, however.

where can I find your german channel?

Impressive putting music before fidelity on an obvious audiophile YT channel. Too LoFi for me; tho appreciate the review.

Question... No more live streams?

[@Michael45RPM]

For sure there will be Wall of records soon!!

[@dirkbusche54]

Aber diese Version von Human League ist auch saustark. Barry Mann und dessen Frau Cynthia Weil schrieben den Song nach dem Vorbild von Baby I Need Your Lovin’ der Four Tops in einem Hotel, wo sie ihn auf einem Klavier strukturierten. Als

Michael it is hilarious that Maslof is so butthurt that you have no use for him anymore ( good decision on your part) but he is such a crybaby he will hot shut up about it

[@FrankFiene]

But what we hear is not the original sound, is it?

[@Michael45RPM]

It is

[@FrankFiene]

@@Michael45RPMOK, not worse than my Robert Johnson vinyl, or Son House. 😂

[@zettman7733]

Schon viel zu lange nicht mehr gehört, herrlich! Aber was ist mit dem Klang passiert?

Is this a joke - The Righteous Brothers?, Not interesting or good in any way. Ultravox out 80's them in every way - But The Most 80's song is B-Movies "Nowhere Girl"

[@audiophile_1970]

Very typical album of that early 80's period. It sounds like the extension of late 70's krautrock/electronic stuff👌😊

Love your electronic music videos. great one
