Heaven 17 - Let Me Go (12 Inch
Extended Version)
Heaven 17 have always been a bit
hit and miss for me, their debut album had some good songs on it, but the album
“The Luxury Gap” was on another level, beautifully produced and quality tracks
from start to finish, the jewel in the crown is undoubtedly the single “Let Me
Go” and the 12 Inch Vinyl version extends the track perfectly, with that
instantly recognizable Bass-Line, quite possibly one of the greatest ever Bass
riffs from the 80s, it is what made the song.
The A Side of the vinyl 12 Inch
featured the extended version of “Let Me Go”, which had a running time of just
over 6 minutes, the B Side, disappointingly featured just an instrumental
version of “Let Me Go”. They’ve never been a band that does proper B Sides for
some strange reason.
It was released in 1982 and
unbelievably only reached Number 41 in the UK Singles chart, which I find
astounding.
