Heaven 17 - 1980s & 1990s Albums and Singles

In October 1982, Heaven 17 released their new single "Let Me Go", but this too charted just outside the UK Top 40. However, in 1983, the band's fortunes changed. Their next single, "Temptation" (on which they were augmented by vocalist Carol Kenyon), reached Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in Spring 1983 and became their biggest hit. The song was taken from their second album, The Luxury Gap, which featured further chart hits "Come Live With Me" (UK Number 5) and "Crushed By The Wheels of Industry" (UK Number 17). The album itself charted at Number 4 in the UK Albums Chart, their highest ever position, and was certified Platinum by the BPI in 1984.

The band also worked on the Band Aid single at the end of 1984, with Gregory supplying vocals alongside Midge Ure and Sting, after a personal request from Ure that he attend. After the remix album Endless peaked at Number 70 in July 1986, the band's fourth studio album Pleasure One was released in November 1986 and featured the single "Trouble" (UK Number 51, GER Number 17). The album contained a number of songs that were originally intended for a French film project that never came to be. In late 1992, a remix of "Temptation" reached Number 4 and was followed by the compilation album Higher and Higher - The Best of Heaven 17 in 1993. Remixes of "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thing" and "Penthouse and Pavement" were also minor hits in 1993.
