Human Racing
''Human Racing'' is the debut album by the English singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw. The album was released in February 1984 on MCA Records, peaking at #5 on the UK Album Chart and was certified Platinum by the BPI. It was the 22nd biggest selling album of 1984 in the UK and received a nomination for Best British Album at the 1985 Brit Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shows )〕 The album also reached the top ten in several other countries including Germany, Finland, and Norway.
The album was re-released on 27 February 2012 on Universal's new Re-presents imprint featuring rare bonus content. The reissue is a 2-CD set with the original album digitally remastered from the original 1/2" mix tapes; the bonus content consists of associated 12" mixes and B-sides including a previously unreleased version of "Bogart", a special brass mix of "Shame on You" and a live version of "Cloak and Dagger" recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon.
==Production and recording==
The album features guest keyboardists, including Don Snow, Nick Glennie-Smith, and Reg Webb, the latter a member of the band Fusion (for which Kershaw was the guitarist). Several songs like "Drum Talk" were based around improvisation; other songs, like "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", had a political message. "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "Wouldn't It Be Good", "Dancing Girls" and "Human Racing" were all released as singles with corresponding music videos.
''Human Racing'' was recorded over a period of ten weeks during the summer of 1983. Every day at 11:00, Peter Collins, Julian Mendelsohn, and Kershaw himself gathered at Sarm East Studios in East London to record the album.〔"Nik Kershaw To Release Expanded Reissue Of ‘Human Racing’". thisisnotretro.com. 2012-02-15. Retrieved 2013-07-09.〕 When Kershaw was asked about how he wanted the album to sound he said: "What we really did was just re-record the demos I'd made the previous year on a Portastudio, in my front room. All the parts were there, we just improved the quality and changed a few sounds around. We stuck quite faithfully to the original arrangements."
