  "Pearl in the Shell" was the title of a single released by musician Howard Jones in May 1984. It was the fourth and final release from the album "Human's Lib", and reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.

  Unlike Jones' previous singles, the 12" single edition did not feature an extended mix of the main track, though an extended mix later appeared on "The 12" Album". Instead, the track "Total Conditioning" was an extended version of the song "Conditioning" also taken from Human's Lib, featuring additional lyrics lifted from most of the other songs on that album.
