Formed in Sheffield in 1977 The Human League are one of the most renowned English synth-pop bands. Initially an experimental electronic outfit, the group signed to Virgin Records in 1979 and attained widespread commercial success with their third album Dare in 1981. The album contained four hit singles, including the UK/US number one hit “Don’t You Want Me”.
Under Oakey’s leadership, the Human League have evolved into a commercially successful New Pop band, with a line-up including female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley.
Since 1978, the Human League have released nine studio albums, two remix albums, one live album, six EPs, 30 singles and several compilation albums. They have had five albums and 15 Top 20 singles and had sold more than 20 million records worldwide by 2010.
This set contains their albums from their time with Virgin Records and all records come in coloured vinyl (chosen by the band) and in tip on sleeves, all housed in a sturdy box with a poster. The band have just completed a sold-out UK tour playing Dare in its entirety.

Re: Human League
SDE EXCLUSIVE • DOLBY ATMOS • 5.1 MIX • INSTRUMENTALS • 15 RARE BONUS TRACKS • REGION-FREE BLU-RAY • RELEASE DATE: 10 OCTOBER
The Human League’s iconic third studio album, Dare, is reissued as an SDE exclusive blu-ray audio in October.
Produced by Martin Rushent, Dare was created by a new look Human League line-up that consisted of Philip Oakey (vocals, synthesizer), Jo Callis (synthesizer, guitar), Philip Adrian Wright (visuals, synthesizer), Joanne Catherall (vocals), Susan Ann Sulley (vocals) and Ian Burden (synthesizer).
With the new personnel came a fresh, cutting-edge pop sensibility and the group used this to create an album that was not only an enormous commercial and critical success upon its release, but one which has since been hailed as one of the most groundbreaking records of its time.
The album featured four singles, including UK top 10 hits ‘Love Action (I Believe in Love)’ and ‘Open Your Heart’, as well as the transatlantic No 1 ‘Don’t You Want Me’ (Virgin Records’ first British and American chart-topping single). The album was also No 1 in the UK albums charts and peaked at No 3 in the USA, with The Human League being seen one of the leaders in the so-called Second Invasion of British pop bands in America.
With its hit singles coupled with the darker tone of some of the album tracks (‘Seconds’, ‘I Am The Law’), Dare’s stature and influence has only grown over time and it is regularly voted one of best albums of the 1980s in music polls. Q Magazine placed the album at No 69 in its list of ‘100 Greatest British Albums Ever’, at the turn of the Millennium.
The SDE exclusive blu-ray features a new Dolby Atmos Mix of Dare, created by John Barrett at Abbey Road Studios. Additionally, the disc includes a 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of the album and instrumental mixes in both Atmos and 5.1. Alongside this content sits the original 1981 stereo mix and bonus A-sides, B-sides, remixes and instrumentals from the original singles (in stereo).
Audio streams on the SDE exclusive blu-ray are as follows:
Dolby Atmos Mix (48 kHz / 24-bit)
5.1 Surround Mix (48 kHz / 24-bit)
Dolby Atmos Mix Instrumental (48 kHz / 24-bit)
5.1 Surround Mix Instrumental (48 kHz / 24-bit)
Original 1981 Stereo Mix (48 kHz / 24 bit)
Bonus tracks (in stereo) (48 kHz / 24-bit)
This Dare release is a region-free blu-ray and is No 47 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series. It will be packaged in a clear amaray case and ships in a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.
The blu-ray is a limited edition and has a 14-day pre-order window which closes on 10 September 2025. Availability cannot be guaranteed after that date. Pre-order from the SDE shop using this link or via the button below.
