''Holiday '80'' is an EP released by the original line-up of the British synthpop band The Human League. The EP was issued in the UK by Virgin Records in April 1980, a month before the release of the band's second album ''Travelogue''. The EP peaked at no. 56 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1980, but was later reissued and returned to the chart, peaking at no. 46 in February 1982. The recordings were produced with John Leckie, who had also been working with new wave bands such as Simple Minds and XTC. The principal song on the EP was "Marianne", however Virgin felt the band's preferred version of the track was not strong enough and refused to release it.〔(HUMAN LEAGUE BIOG 1980 - 1992 )〕 "Dancevision" was an instrumental. The EP also featured a new, more elaborate recording of the band's debut single "Being Boiled", which would subsequently be included on the ''Travelogue'' album. The last track was a medley consisting of a cover of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll" (titled "Rock 'n' Roll" in the track listings) seguéing into the Iggy Pop track "Nightclubbing". The Japanese release also features the song "Toyota City", which also appears on ''Travelogue''. The UK release was as a double 7" (containing four tracks) and two single 7" versions (both containing three tracks each), all with the same catalogue number, and a 12" EP (containing four tracks). The Japanese release was a 12" with different tracks to the UK 12". The band performed "Rock 'n' Roll" on ''Top of the Pops'' on 8 May 1980, even though the EP had not entered the Top 40. Although the EP would chart no higher than 56 after their appearance, the band garnered mainstream attention and their album ''Travelogue'' would enter the UK Top 20, peaking at no. 16, following the performance. This would be the band's only ''Top of the Pops'' appearance featuring the original line-up of Oakey, Ware, Marsh and Wright. ==Track listing== UK 2×7" Gatefold (Virgin SV-105)〔http://www.discogs.com/Human-League-Holiday-80/release/124193〕 # "Marianne" (Marsh/Oakey/Ware) 3:17 # "Dancevision" (Marsh/Ware) 2:21 (by The Future ) # "Being Boiled" (Album Version) (Marsh/Oakey/Ware) 4:22 # "Rock ’n’ Roll / Nightclubbing" (Gary Glitter, Mike Leander) (Jim Osterberg, David Bowie) 6:22 UK 12" (Virgin SV-105-12)〔http://www.discogs.com/Human-League-Holiday-80/release/674961〕 # "Marianne" (Marsh/Oakey/Ware) 3:17 # "Being Boiled" (Album Version) (Marsh/Oakey/Ware) 4:22 # "Dancevision" (Marsh/Ware) 2:21 (by The Future ) # "Rock ’n’ Roll / Nightclubbing" (Glitter, Leander) (Osterberg, Bowie) 6:22 UK 7" ''Holiday '80: Being Boiled'' (Virgin SV-105)〔http://www.discogs.com/Human-League-Holiday-80-Being-Boiled/release/27707〕 # Being Boiled (Oakey) 4:10 # Marianne (Oakey) 3:14 # Dancevision (Marsh/Ware) 2:15 UK 7" ''Holiday '80: Rock 'n' Roll'' (Virgin SV-105)〔http://www.discogs.com/Human-League-Holiday-80-Rock-N-Roll/release/198520〕 # Rock 'n' Roll (Glitter, Leander) 3:15 # Being Boiled (Oakey) 4:10 # Dancevision (Marsh/Ware) 2:15 Japanese 12" (Virgin VIP-5906)〔http://www.discogs.com/Human-League-Holiday-80/release/446549〕 # "Marianne" (Marsh/Oakey/Ware) 3:17 # "Dancevision" (Marsh/Ware) 2:21 (by The Future ) # "Toyota City" (Marsh/Ware) 3:22 # "Rock ’n’ Roll / Nightclubbing" (Glitter, Leander) (Osterberg, Bowie) 6:22 # "Being Boiled" (Album Version) (Marsh/Oakey/Ware) 4:22 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holiday '80」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
