The Human League: Perfect Pop – Peter Nash, 1982

Written like a New Romantic video, every sentence swirls around in dry ice and contrast lighting, wearing a batwing blouse. Clearly a chart-friendly cash-in but also a solid biog, including interviews with Oakey and the girls, quotes and clippings from the Heaven 17 half of the band, plus a decent discography and the great Martin Rushent telling production stories. Now back to that cocktail bar.
