2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre compilation, January 15, 2007
By 
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
I was very disappointed to find that the version of Penthouse and Pavement on this collection is the 4:04 edited single version with a horrible edit of the intro. The original version is something like 6:00, so there's nearly two minutes missing from the song. Otherwise, most of the must-have Heaven 17 songs are here, but all the shortest versions.

4.0 out of 5 stars I BEG TO DIFFER!, July 22, 2000
By 
Calvin Pollock (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
This might not be the best compilation, but anyone who hasn't heard (/of) these guys must have slept through the 80s! Who could forget the timeless "Let Me Go", the groovy "Play to Win", the happenin' "Penthouse & Pavement", the funky "Fascist Groove Thang", the furious "Temptation", & "Crushed by the Wheels...", and on and on... All of these guys, before and after the branching off of Human League, DEFINED British Electronic Pop!
