A remix of The Human League's The Dignity of Labour pt. 3 has been issued as a 'B side' to a 7" single remix of Manicured Noise's 'Moscow 1980' . Listed as 'Fred Deakin's Impotent Fury mix' it has been issued in Ltd White Vinyl 7” (500) with unique artwork by Fred Deakin (Airside). Caroline True Records states there are 'a few copies left'.Hear both here at last.fm .
The orginal version of The Human League's The Dignity of Labour can be heard on the Reproduction CD. This four part electronic instrumental 'suite', originally released as a 12" in 1979, is based loosely around Yuri Gagarin and the Russian space effort. Part 3 apparently "portrays the takeoff of the rocket".
I'd never heard of Manicured Noise before although apparently qualify as a lost band of the new wave era. Another reliable source states "The Manchester, England post punk band released two singles without an album to their credit (though a compilation was released years later). The band was fronted by Steven Walsh, formerly of Flowers Of Romance which also included at various times Sid Vicious (pre-Sex Pistols), Viv Albertine (pre-The Slits), Palmolive (pre-The Slits and The Raincoats) and Keith Levine (briefly The Clash and later, Public Image Ltd)." the band have a fairly healthy myspace page.
Manicured Noise: "lost"
