SHARE: Heaven 17 Penthouse & Pavement - alternative version

Postby Passing_Stranger » Mon Jul 31, 2017 1:34 pm

For some reason (for a reason maybe) it's usually the first albums that are accompanied by alternative versions and remixes. So the next installment is the H17 debut - this one I had the most fun yet compiling and listening to. Maybe it's the familiarity of the original (I once went on a month-long archaeological expedition in which I only had like 5 or 6 albums for accompaniement - this one included, so it's safe to say I know it by heart now :D ), but this version sounds immensely fresh and fun to listen to. Little to no issues with sound consistency to boot which is always a great thing.

Anyway, here's "Penthouse & Pavement" reimagined. I went with the Canadian track list which thankfully found a place for "I'm Your Money", probably my favourite single by the guys - and, as I've only recently found, it also had a different ending to the last song which until that time was, annoyingly, the only one from this LP without an alternate version or even later "techno" remix (well, I contemplated substituting it for "Marianne"... :wink: ).

(01) Groove Thang
(02) Penthouse & Pavement (John Potoker 1986 remix)
(03) Play (7'' version)
(04) Soul Warfare (Hot Gossip version)
(05) Geisha Boys & Temple Girls (Hot Gossip version)
(06) I'm Your Money (7'')
(07) Let's All Make a Bomb (1983 new version)
(08) Height of the Fighting (He-la-hu) (1986 remix)
(09) Song with No Name (1983 new version)
(10) We're Going to Live for a Very Long Time (Canadian LP ending)

I did so quite a long time ago - but it took time! And anyway it's only for their first two albums - what followed completely failed to impress me. Still, those first two are priceless!
