A grab bag of extended mixes and otherwise neglected moments from the Human League's catalog, focusing on Dare! through Romantic?, Original Remixes & Rarities is a useful accessory for fans but -- unsurprisingly -- it's not the least bit essential for anyone else. Highlights include the extended versions of "Sound of the Crowd," "Don't You Want Me" (which is also instrumental), "Life on Your Own," and "The Lebanon," as well as a dub of "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and the relatively irascible version of "Being Boiled" that appeared on Travelogue (the only inclusion that dates from the League's pre-coed lineup).

The popularity of The Human League never seems to wane, with constant sell-out tours and festival appearances (Homelands and Big Gay Out in 2005). 2005 saw the League back on a 16-date tour of the UK in November. To coincide with their touring activities, a collection of original 12-inch remixes of their most popular tracks are features, many of which have not been on CD before - such as the full unedited versions of 'The Sound Of The Crowd', 'Open Your Heart' and 'The Lebanon'. Additionally, 'Love Action' and 'Hard Times Instrumental 12-inches were only previously available on a CD single, and the rest of the tracks (bar the Extended Electric Dreams which came out on the reissued Oakey & Moroder CD reissue) are currently only to be found as bonus tracks on various US and International pressings. EMI. 2005.

Original Remixes & Rarities is a compilation album by English synthpop band The Human League. It consists most of extended mixes and B Sides that did not appear on rereleases of the band's albums or on compilations. It was released in the UK and US in November 2005 by EMI. The cover art is a minimalist and horizontally flipped version of the cover for the group's 2001 album, Secrets.
