this song is on theCD penthouse and pavement.....great cd . i'd suggest adding it to your collection :-) i love this version. wish they would have toured the states :-(
Most surreal place i ever played this on nuclear quick reaction alert at RAF Laarbruch germany back in 86 Penthouse and Pavement and The Luxury Gap kept me sane down the falklands
I have the original B-side recording of this from a 7" ex jukebox record. Its a bit knackered but still convays the power of the first recording. I will copy it off tape and plonk it up here soon.
Fuck that, this is an amazing live version. Gregory's vocals are straight out of the studio sessions for Penthouse and Pavement. I'm disappointed the album cut isn't on youtube, but this is a MORE than suitable substitute.
the advantage of youtube is: everybody is able to post a commentary.

What a great video to those, who love and lived at the 80s, what challenge to those, who where born after..., try to talk with grown ups, and get pocket-money...
What a great version of this song.
To all kids: Listen to: fascist groove song, than you will know how we hate fascism or racism
This song is amazing when recorded, as do all of Heaven 17's songs. However this is boring and I can see why people call it shit if they've never heard the recorded version
Absoloutley agree with you mate, some groups work better on cd rather than live. Human League arefar superior im afraid as they got the sound Live.This is a bit dull, but the album version is fantastic
I can only imagine you who dis the boys are way too old to get the 80's feeling! If you ever saw them live, or felt the beat of Temptation..........I LOVE HEAVEN 17...have done for the past umpteen years..Glenn you have not lost it babe!
ok gonnastop yea right there hip hop isnt music, and dont get me rong but im not tryin to stand up for what ever the hell theese guys are playing but atleast they have the brain capasity to think up chord progretions, lyrics, tuning and how to play instoments and put it all together in a live show. not rip beats off from other artist becuz you cant be creative for one second and actully do something productive instead of making up new words to exsprese how "balla" or "gansta" or straight up thug
If you were older than 12 years old, you'd know the original version of this song and who Heaven 17 are: pioneers of electronica before that rip-off junk you prefer listening to.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
If you look closely you will see a sign for the Sound Republic, in London, (not Sheffield) where this was shot. I was there. A great song and a great gig!
Why the Heaven 17 start making a wonderfull album like Penthose and Pavement and why they turn into bullshit? Now, what is this? They try to Retroelectronic a good song from Penthouse and Pavement? great ideia! But... what is this? and why that girls singing like that?
Your info's a little wrong - this (along with your 'Play To Win' video) is actually taken from a one-off gig at the Sound Republic in London from March 1999. It's available on the How Live Is CD.

This is a very disappointing version. OK the album version was bleak but this is no better I hate the backing vocals.
P&P remains a very good album. Very evocative ; takes me back to the winter of 81.
Overall the Heaven 17 on Y'tube selection is poor, there's little good or bad on here . Wheres Sunset now - And thats no lie
Play to win - This is mine - How men are - CBTWOI and many more.
Were going to live for a very long time and i 'd like a lot more of H17 on here.

For you, Detox/Retox on Eagle records, 1998. Also, Penthouse & Pavment LP, 1981. For the knob polishers, some other B-side single in 1981-82.
