Howard Jones - The 12" Album (2011 Remastered Edition) (1984) Hi Res

Originally released on vinyl only between his first two studio albums (Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action) for the UK and European market in 1984 (and later on CD in 1988). The 12” Album was Jones’ first album to feature 12” mixes and was once again produced by Rupert Hine and mixed by Stephen W Tayler, who also mixed Jones’ first two studio albums. The album was recorded and mixed at Farmyard Studios in England.

The album peaked at number 15, spent 33 weeks in the UK Chart and was certified Gold selling in excess of 100,000 copies. For the first time, Jones’ music became part of a mix culture with The 12” Album containing six remixed tracks, each one segued into the next.

Later In 1984, The 12” Album was released in Japan as ‘Howard Jones’ 12”ers’, which has the same tracks as The 12” Album, but sequenced in flipped order, starting with ‘Like To Get To Know You Well’ on side one, and ‘Always Asking Questions’ on side two.
