Sheffield’s own Heaven 17 will be performing their acclaimed, platinum selling 1983 album The Luxury Gap in full at the O2 Academy this November.
Regarded as a masterpiece of the genre, The Luxury Gap is Heaven 17’s best selling record. Setting out to combine their love of soul music with electronic music, the record spawned the hit singles Temptation, Let Me Go, Come Live With Me and Crushed By The Wheels of Industry.
Forty years on from the release of the album, it’s become one of the most important electronic pop records ever.
