"Tell Me When" is a song by the British synthpop group The Human League. Written jointly by lead singer Philip Oakey and Paul C. Beckett, it was recorded at 'Human League Studios', Sheffield in 1994. The single and the ''Octopus'' album were produced by Ian Stanley (formerly of Tears for Fears). "Tell Me When" was the first Human League single to be released from ''Octopus'' and was issued in advance of the album. It was released on 27 December 1994 (but is considered a 1995 single as it did not chart until the first week of January). It became The Human League's most commercially successful single in nine years and reintroduced the band to many of the British general public. It peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart in early 1995, their highest UK chart position since 1983, spending a total of nine weeks in the chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Artist Chart History - The Human League )〕 It also peaked at number 31 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, giving the band their last hit to date in the United States. ==Background== The song was originally written and a demo version recorded for Virgin Records in 1991, who instantly rejected it. It then became the first release by the band under their new label EastWest, who had signed the Human League after their dismissal by Virgin in 1992. As it was the first commercial release in the UK by the band for four years it is often incorrectly described as a comeback as many people erroneously believed the band had disbanded in 1990. Band principal Philip Oakey takes issue with this description and will point out in interviews that the band has never stopped recording and performing since its formation in 1977〔Interview Philip Oakey GMTV 1995 Transcribed: http://freespace.virgin.net/t.ashford/TVOAKEY.HTML〕 The band had collaborated with Yellow Magic Orchestra prior to signing with EastWest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE HUMAN LEAGUE )〕
