A while ago, Howard Jones managed to get hold of the rights to his earlier material, which used to be owned by his former label. Now that he is in charge again, things have started to happen. Like the upcoming mega box sets of “Human’s Lib” and “Dream Into Action”.
Both albums have been remastered and reissued before, but these box sets are something else. They’re out on November 30, and if you’re not willing to part with £89.99 each, the reissues will also be available on expanded deluxe 2CD / 1DVD digipak edition, limited edition green vinyl or remastered and expanded CD.
