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 and Psycho” (1988).
