British singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw‘s 1984 album ‘Human Racing‘ is to re-released later this month as part of Universal Music’s ‘Re-presents’ label, which takes classic albums from the past and presents them in a new form.
‘Human Racing’ was originally released in February 1984, and received a nomination for Best Album at the following year’s Brit Awards.
The new digitally remastered 2 CD edition, which has been put together by Kershaw, will include a previously unreleased version of ‘Bogart‘, a brass mix of ‘Shame on You‘ and a live version of ‘Cloak and Dagger‘, while the booklet contains brand new sleeve notes written by the Suffolk born songwriter.

Great news! I really can’t wait. I have the original album of Human Racing, but I really would like to buy this when it comes out! It is only merde that it will not be sold on Nik Kershaws website. I hope that The Riddle, Radio Musicola and also The Works will follow one day. It is really a shame that Nik is so underrated by a lot of people.
