Their iconic frontman, whose exceptional pop sensibility and catchy melodies set them apart from other bands in the punk context, was Pete Shelley, who sadly passed away in 2018. His two solo titles, \"Homosapien\" and \"XL1,\" which are being reissued this time, were released after the Buzzcocks disbanded in 1981, and are masterpieces by a man who had gone through new wave and punk, sharpening his own pop sensibilities and giving himself over to new styles such as techno and synth pop.\n\nReleased in 1982, \"Homosapien\" was overshadowed at the time by the Human League's \"Dare\" and its smash hit \"Don't You Want Me,\" both released shortly thereafter, and did not receive the recognition it deserved.Released at a time when synthpop was at its peak, both albums were produced by Martin Rushant and recorded in the same studio. However, the title track of this album, \"Homosapien,\" was banned by the BBC, and the spotlight at the time turned completely to the Human League. The banned song \"Homosapien\" was released as an advance single in 1981, and the 12-inch version released included a 9-minute dub version of the song, and this reissue includes that rare dub and many other rare tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Homosapien2.Yesterday's Not Here3.I Generate A Feeling4.Keats' Song5.Qu'est-ce Que C'est Que Ca6.I Don't Know What It Is7.Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself8.Pusher Man9.Just One Of Those Affairs10.It's Hard Enough Knowing11.In Love With Somebody Else12.Witness The Change13.Maxine14.Love In Vain15.Homosapien (Elongated Dancepartydubmix)16.Witness the Change\/I Don't Know What Love Is (Dub)\u003cbr\u003e1.Homosapien\u003cbr\u003e2.Yesterday's Not Here\u003cbr\u003e3.I Generate A Feeling\u003cbr\u003e4.Keats' Song\u003cbr\u003e5.Qu'est-ce Que C'est Que Ca\u003cbr\u003e6.I Don't Know What It Is\u003cbr\u003e7.Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself\u003cbr\u003e8.Pusher Man\u003cbr\u003e9.Just One Of Those Affairs\u003cbr\u003e10.It's Hard Enough Knowing\u003cbr\u003e11.In Love With Somebody Else\u003cbr\u003e12.Witness The Change\u003cbr\u003e13.Maxine\u003cbr\u003e14.Love In Vain\u003cbr\u003e15.Homosapien (Elongated Dancepartydubmix)\u003cbr\u003e16.Witness the Change\/I Don't Know What Love Is (Dub)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51435765989665,"sku":"887830017220","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/887830017220.jpg?v=1751292541","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/887830017220","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
