Reproduction News
Hi there well I did say that I would leave so long until the next update and I think I have managed it just!
So what's new well I have updated the lyrics section and am continuing to do so. Also I was watching TV last week and was amazed to see a program on channel 5 called Motorsport Max use the Leagues "The things that Dreams Are Made Of" as the music to advertise it.
Keep checking the site for updates any contributions or suggestions are always welcome.
Until next time, cheers Tom

Well what can I say Its been a long time I know and for those who though Reproduction had gone I'm glad to say that it hasn't. The lack of input to the site over the last 5 months has been half of me being really busy with work and other commitments but also that there is a bit of a lack of material or activity at the moment. There has been some talk of the league signing to a new record label but no confirmation of this. As soon as I hear anything Ill let you know here.
So what's new well the Links section has been updated with some new links and old one taken down. I am working on a new format for the page so if anyone has any new ideas of what they would like to see or suggestion send them to the usual e-mail address or sign the guest book. Thanks for those who have signed the guest book in the last few months its always nice to read new comments and suggesting and I have updated the singles page with new information of chart positions.
Well I hope it won't be as long till the next update
Cheers for now Tom

I have put it under the new renamed section of TV & Radio Appearances so enjoy! I also wrote to Radio 2 to see If I could get a full recording of the Interview but they e-mailed back saying No :o(
Sunday 19th March 2000
Hello again, well 3 months in and not really a lot of activity from the League or the site for that matter, although I'm hoping to change that in the next few months with more changes, I have updates the interview section not with new interviews but and just made them a little easier to read by inserting these great new things I have found called paragraphs!
Any information or comments welcome as always at the usual e-mail address so get writing. Also keep checking back for future updates from the UK number one site.
Sunday 16th January 2000
Well here we are in the year 2000 and hopefully the Human League will have a better year than last year and hopefully release their eagerly awaited new album? The site will also have some more content and information adding to it as I haven't had the chance over the last couple of months but hopefully if you keep an eye on it your start too see some differences.
I'm always looking for new information and material so anything you have just e-mail

Well here I am again with another update to the site, since last time I have had too people e-mail me with a few minor spelling mistakes on the site which I have now altered but by all means if anyone finds anymore please drop me a mail and I will update it.
I'm afraid as it stands there is no new news on the league or the new album but as soon as I hear anything it will posted into this section so keep checking. I am currently working on adding another interview to the site, but as I'm sure most of you are aware this is a very time lengthy process.
In the mean time if anyone has any suggestion or comments about the site or what they would like to see on the site I would be very interested to hear from you. Either drop me a mail or sign the guest book on the page.
Until next time "Shake It Up".

Hi there yes I'm back again with some more news for you, first all I want to ask if anyone else saw a program on UK TV last Wednesday 2nd called "Hunting Venus" It not only mentioned The Human League a handful of times it also used their music and then right at the end, The Human League themselves featured in it where Phil had a short speaking part with the two girls and you also saw them performing the introduction too "Don't You Want Me" introduced by Jools Holland it was great.
I would also like to thank Sarah Endres from Germany who sent me a very nice e-mail about my page and also pointed out a few grammatical errors on the Young Guns Go For It documentary so thanks for that Sarah I will be making the relevant correction ASAP
Keeps checking for more new updates appearing soon!

Hello again, It's seems is becoming a habit, putting news up three Friday's in ago but I swear It's just coincidence. Ok what's new?
Well after sending an e-mail to Barry Tomkinson whom for those of you who don't know him, is the creator of the excellent, and best site in my opinion "Dare". I ask him if he would include a link for my page on his other web sites section" to which he said yes, so maybe I'll get a few more people visiting the site fingers crossed! I'm also in the process of looking for anybody who will be documenting the Rewind Tour on video or by any other means, so if you are please get in touch with me. That's about all the news I have for now, I would like to thank Barry for adding a link to my site on his page, and for visiting the site.
Until next time.
Friday27th November 1998-
After much effort and hard work on my part (Not that anyone is reading this anyway!), I have managed to upload all the lyrics to all The Human League current albums. When I have time I will also put the lyrics up to the singles that did not come out on any of their albums. Not really any new news I can tell you at present, once again thought if any one dose have any material, news or gossip they want to tell me about the League I will be glad to put it up on the site.
Cheers
Friday 20th November 1998-
I have managed to upload the first two albums lyrics in the new lyrics section that I have added to the site. Please be patient as this is quite a time consuming process, and I will get the other albums lyrics up as soon as I can.
Also with the UK Rewind Tour looming ever closer I am on the lookout for reviews and articles that I can get new information from.
I can't wait for the Wembley concert. I actually feel that the site is getting some real content now.
So until next time,
"Keep Felling Fascination"
Tuesday 10th November1998-
After felling rather annoyed after missing the Human League appearance on 05/10/98 I decided to try and do something about it. I started off by trying to locate the address of GMTV, which was no easy task, but eventually found it and sent them a letter a few weeks later I got a reply saying that they would tape the interview for a charge of £25. I thought this was rather a lot to pay but decided to go ahead anyway.
The video arrived a few days later and I have now transcribed both interviews, as there are two on the video and put them up on the site under a new section called TV Appearances.
Hope you enjoy them
Monday 26th October 1998-
New News! With a lot of recent media attention towards Culture Club and their new single released last week in the UK which charted at number #4, their was a three page article in NME on the 24th October. The contents of the article include a interview with Boy George in which he talks about the past and the present, and also mentions the tour in which The Human League are mentioned.
I really hope that the Human League release some new material soon as this would be an opportune time, so fingers crossed, and I'll keep you posted.

On Monday 05 October The Human League appeared on GMTV breakfast show. They interviewed Phil and he spoke
about what him and the band had been up to over the last few years He talked about his up coming tour with Culture Club and ABC.
He also spoke about the fact that only the people who want to be in the band are in it
now, and how the band never actually split up or stopped working as a unit but have been doing things together for the last few years (especialy touring the states and filling out huge halls which he couldn't beleive.
Then Phil and the two girls performed "Tell Me When".
