'The Dignity Of Labour' is a 12 inch vinyl record released in 1979. The tracks were written and performed by the The Human League with the line-up Ware, Marsh and Oakey.The 12 inch was released as the follow-up to their earlier single 'Being Boiled', b/w 'Circus of Death', on Fast Product Records, the label that the band released their early singles.
All four parts are instrumental pieces of electronic music, 'The Dignity of Labour, Pts. 1-4'. These are loosely tied together with a story depicting the construction of the Vostok 1 spacecraft, as well as the launch of the rocket and the pioneering Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space. The cover art depicts Gagarin, having just landed on earth, about to receive a medal of honor.
At the time of release, the record contained a free single on Flexidisc which featured a recording of the band members and Bob Last discussing what the Flexidisc should contain, in homage to the film, Dark Star.
