Heaven 17 - Let Me Go

Over the time of the blog there has been a lot of music posted that I sometimes think I have included a band and it turns out that I havent. 

This is the case with Heaven 17.  I looked to see what I had already put up and realised that I hadn't included them yet.  So here is the first of 2 posts on them (the other will be tommorrow) to rectify this ommision.

'Let Me Go' (labelled as Let Me Go! on the sleeve of the single) is a single by Heaven 17, taken from (and released several months before) their second album The Luxury Gap.

It actually first appeared on the band's American self-titled compilation, Heaven 17, which was released in 1982.

It reached number 41 on the UK singles chart, the lowest chart placement among the singles from that album but their highest at the time of the single's release.

The song also spent five weeks at number 4 on the American dance chart in 1983. Allmusic cites it as "a club hit that features Glenn Gregory's moody, dramatic lead above a percolating vocal and synth arrangement."

It was one of the first commercial releases to feature the Roland TB-303, a bass synthesiser which later played a pivotal role in the later acid house movement.
