notes

Originally released in 1984.

From the back cover:
"The first of four albums for MCA records, Human Racing achieved platinum sales and a nomination for "Best Album" at the 1985 Brit Awards. Its released was greeted with a compination of teen hysteria, critical acclaim and praise from the likes of Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and prompted Elton John to call Kershaw "one of the best songwriters of a generation".

This special 2CD edition, compiled by Nik himself featured the Album, digitally re-mastered from the original 1/2" mix tape and associated 12" mixes and B-sides. It includes a previously un-released version of "Bogart", a special brass mix of "Shame On You" and a live version of "Cloak and Dagger" recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon. Much of the material on CD2 has never before been available in a digital format and the booklet contains a sleevenote written by Nik."

The liner notes acknowledges that the remix credits for "Bogart (Extended 12" Remix)" and "Human Racing (Extended 12" Remix)" are unknown, but nonetheless, there are still no remix credits given for 2-1, 2-5 and 2-8 either.
"Human Racing (Extended 12" Remix)" credit was however apparent on the Human Racing 12" where it is titled "Human Racing (Re-mix By Simon Boswell)".
"Faces (Extended 12" Remix)", 2-6, is credited as remixed by Simon Darlow, the mix on the 12" of Human Racing however is titled "Faces (Re-mix By Simon Boswell)" and therefore credits Simon Boswell.
"I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Extended 12" Remix)", 2-9, is credited here as remixed by Simon Darlow, but the original I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me 12" credits Simon Boswell, as strikingly apparent by its original title, "I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Extended Remix By Simon Boswell)".
