Howard Jones and Cherry Red are diving into the vault for another live release - a wider audiovisual issue of a 1984 concert recorded by the synthpop icon in Japan.

Live at The NHK Hall, Tokyo, Japan - 1984 depicts Jones a year into his major-label career, having already seen debut singles "New Song" and "What is Love?" sail to Nos. 3 and 2 on the U.K. charts a year earlier. The 15-song set features nearly every song from debut album Human's Lib, released that same year - including favorites "Hide and Seek" and "Like to Get to Know You Well" along with non-LP tracks like "Always Asking Questions" and "Bounce Right Back."

The CD, remastered from the original concert multi-tracks, also re-orders the concert in proper sequence - slightly different accompanying original video release (issued on VHS and reissued here on a region-free DVD after being part of a deluxe Human's Lib box issued by Cherry Red) - and includes a song that did not feature on that video: a cover of The Beatles' "Hey Jude." An eight-page booklet of period live shots of Howard is included in this digipak release, in line with the generous sets Cherry Red has put together for his Warner-era '80s and early '90s material.

The set is available October 21 and can be pre-ordered below. Jones' newest album, Dialogue, is also due later this year.
