''The Dignity Of Labour'' is a 12" vinyl record released in 1979. The tracks were written and performed by The Human League with the line-up Ware, Marsh and Oakey. It was released as the follow-up to their earlier single "Being Boiled" (b/w "Circus of Death") on Fast Product Records, the label that the band released their early singles. All four parts are instrumental pieces of electronic music, "The Dignity of Labour, Pts. 1-4". These are loosely tied together with a story depicting the construction of the Vostok 1 spacecraft, as well as the launch of the rocket and the pioneering Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space. The cover art depicts Gagarin, having just landed on earth, about to receive a medal of honour. At the time of release, the record contained a free single on Flexidisc which featured a recording of the band members and Bob Last discussing whether or not to include a Flexidisc, the benefits and detractions of including a Flexidisc, and what the Flexidisc should contain (in homage to the film ''Dark Star''). Later they talk about Yuri Gagarin, Yuri Gagarin having tea after landing Vostok 1, individual as opposed to group effort and the fact that eventually everyone dies.〔http://discog.lesdisquesducertain.com/fastpop/moreinfo.php?category=fastproduct&dirName=fast10〕 ==Track listing== #"The Dignity of Labour (Pt. 1)" – (4:21) — "The first part has the miners underground in Russia, digging up the coal to make steel" 〔(Narrative on original demo recording of The Dignity of Labour )〕 #"The Dignity of Labour (Pt. 2)" – (2:46) — "The second part shows gantries being made from the steel, for Yuri Gagarin's spaceship." 〔 #"The Dignity of Labour (Pt. 3)" – (3:49) — "The third part is an instrumental tribute to Yuri Gagarin." 〔 #"The Dignity of Labour (Pt. 4)" – (3:49) 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「The Dignity of Labour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
