Description:
"Human's Lib (Hi-Res Blu-ray+CD Digipak)" is a high-quality reissue of Howard Jones' landmark debut album, presented by Cherry Red Records in an audiophile Hi-Res Blu-ray plus CD configuration. Originally released in 1984, "Human's Lib" helped define the sound of 1980s synth-pop, driven by Howard Jones' distinctive blend of catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics and pioneering use of synthesizers. This new edition offers the album in pristine high-resolution audio, allowing fans to experience the production detail, spaciousness and electronic textures with far greater clarity than standard formats. Housed in an elegant digipak, the set is designed both for collectors and for listeners who value sound quality and attractive physical packaging.
The Blu-ray typically focuses on delivering the core album in superior resolution, often including multiple audio options (such as stereo and, where available, enhanced mixes) to make full use of modern playback systems, while the accompanying CD provides a convenient way to enjoy the original tracklist in classic Red Book quality. The combination makes this edition ideal for long-time fans upgrading their copies as well as newcomers discovering "Human's Lib" for the first time. The design of the digipak usually respects the original artwork and era while benefiting from modern print standards, making it a visually appealing tribute to one of the key synth-pop releases of the decade.
At the creative center of this release is Howard Jones, here in the role of principal artist, songwriter, vocalist and keyboard player rather than as part of a film cast or conventional production. Jones rose to international prominence in the mid-1980s with hits such as "New Song," "What Is Love?" and later "Things Can Only Get Better," becoming one of the defining figures of upbeat, philosophically inclined pop. His work is characterized by positive, introspective lyrics and a strong melodic instinct, combined with sophisticated use of then-cutting-edge electronic instruments. Over the course of his career he has released numerous studio albums, toured extensively and maintained a loyal global fanbase that appreciates both his classic hits and his ongoing creativity.
Cherry Red Records, the label behind this edition, is a long-established independent company based in the UK and renowned for its carefully curated catalogue. Since the late 1970s Cherry Red has specialized in reissues, archive projects and deluxe editions across genres such as new wave, post-punk, progressive rock and pop. The label is respected for its deep catalogue research, attention to sound quality and detailed packaging, which often includes comprehensive booklets, rare images and contextual information. With "Human's Lib (Hi-Res Blu-ray+CD Digipak)," Cherry Red continues its tradition of giving influential albums a premium treatment that respects both the original art and the expectations of today's collectors and audiophiles.
