The 12Inch Album was Jones' first album to feature 12Inch mixe produced by Rupert Hine and mixed by Stephen W Tayler, who also mixed Jones' first two studio albums. The album was recorded and mixed at Farmyard Studios in England. The album peaked at number 15, spent 33 weeks in the UK Chart and was certified Gold selling in excess of 100,000 copies. For the first time, Jones' music became part of a mix culture with The 12Inch Album containing six remixed tracks, each one segued into the next. Later In 1984, The 12Inch Album was released in Japan as 'Howard Jones' 12Inchers', which has the same tracks as 'The 12Inch Album', but sequenced in flipped order, starting with 'Like To Get To Know You Well' on side one, and 'Always Asking Questions' on side two. Following on from Howard's success in Japan, Warner Music in Japan then released 'Howard Jones 12Inchers Vol 2' a compilation of 12Inch versions taking in tracks from both the 'Human's Lib' and 'Dream Into Action' albums.
