• Track Listing

"Human’s Lib" set ’em up, then "Dream into Action" knocked ’em down, becoming Howard’s biggest album (#10 U.S., #2 UK), with "No One Is to Blame" and "Things Can Only Get Better" becoming outright smashes, "Life in One Day" giving him another big hit and "Look Mama" cracking the UK Top 10. These remastered reissues begin with limited-edition green vinyl with rare pix, new notes and track annotation on the inner sleeve. Expanded CD features an eight-page booklet and the bonus songs "Bounce Right Back" and "Like to Get to Know You Well." Deluxe edition adds extended mixes of "Things Can Only Get Better," "Look Mama," "No One Is to Blame," the "Like to Get to Know You Well" demo, the bonus songs "The Chase," "Boom Bap Respite" and more. You’ll also find a DVD in that edition: "No One Is to Blame," "Things Can Only Get Better" and "Look Mama" on The Old Grey Whistle Test, promo videos for all four of the album’s hits and more. The deluxe edition forms the skeleton of the super-deluxe box, but there’s a lot of meat on those bones: the album on vinyl picture disc, the long-deleted "Last World Dream" concert on DVD for the first time ("Pearl in the Shell," "Hide and Seek," "What Is Love?," "New Song," "Look Mama," "No One Is to Blame" and more) and a second CD featuring "The Farmyard Sessions" and additional unreleased tracks (early versions of "Elegy," "Dream into Action," "Is There a Difference?," remixes, instrumentals and more). Rounding out that big box: a replica of the Howard Jones Fan Club Risk Membership Card, a "Dream into Action" artwork lithograph, a replica 1985 tour program and four button badges! Cherry Red.
