electromaniac Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Original members of Sheffield's Human League, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh left after the first two albums and formed Heaven 17 in 1980. Named after a fictional band in Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange", they recruited Glenn Gregory on vocals (who had been the original choice for lead singer of the Human League). Signed to Virgin Records, debut single "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" attracted a lot of attention in March 1981, and a BBC Radio 1 ban. Debut album "Penthouse And Pavement" was released in September 1981 and was certified Gold the following year. Many more chart singles followed, including Top 5 hits "Temptation" and "Come Live With Me", taken from a further four albums - "The Luxury Gap" (1983), "How Men Are" (1984), "Pleasure One" (1986), and "Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho" (1988). This 5 LP set includes all five original albums that the band recorded for Virgin Records, housed in a rigid slipcase. The inner sleeves include all the lyrics and credits, while the albums are pressed on different coloured 180 gram vinyl. Also available as 10 CD Box with 100 Bonus Tracks. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Play-Win-Virgin-Albums-VINYL/dp/B07N441Q3X/?tag=sdepcw-21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I want this, but probably don't need it. Luxury Gap is a great record. This seems like a future discounted set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
