The 12″ Album is an album of 12-inch mixes by the English synth-pop musician Howard Jones, released on 26 November 1984 by WEA Records. It was released between his first two studio albums, Human's Lib (1984) and Dream into Action (1985). At the time, it was the only album to feature the single "Like to Get to Know You Well", which had been a hit four months earlier.
The album reached number 15 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by the BPI.
Critical reception
Reviewing The 12″ Album for AllMusic, Evan Cater found that "while some of the extended mixes are extended beyond their welcome... the record percolates with the creative spirit that marked Jones' work throughout the '80s."
