General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

℗ & © 1981 Virgin Records Ltd. (labels, back cover)

Part of the 'RED' series of issues by The Human League which was a short lived marketing plan to differentiate between styles of music of their releases. 'BLUE' was the other style.

'Produced By Martin Rushent And The Human League. Vocals, Synthesizers And Digital Drums. Cover design And Photography; Philip And Adrian. Layout And Co-ordination; Ken (At A.S.)'. (back cover, all in capitals)

'Hard Times': Published By Dinsong Ltd./Sound Diagrams (labels, all in CAPS)
'Love Action (I Believe In Love)': Published By Dinsong Ltd. (labels, all in CAPS)

There is a very similar UK release of this 12" single '[r=5556086'. But in that case the 'TOWNHOUSE' mastering is only applicable to the A side of the vinyl. 'TOWNHOUSE' mastered both A and B sides on this release.

The other issue has a different runout stamp, and additional mastering engineer credit, to this UK pressing with the same catalogue number.
