Overview
Heaven 17 are to release Penthouse and Pavement Live in Concert on DVD in December 2010, nearly 30 years on from the album's original release.
Recorded live in front of 2,000 hometown fans at the Sheffield Arena in March 2010, the DVD includes the concert in its entirety, never before seen on screen. In addition, the documentary Heaven 17: The Story of Penthouse and Pavement, with exclusive new rehearsal footage, an intimate session at Glenn's own studio and behind-the-scenes footage from Abbey Road studios.
Released at the dawn of the 1980s, Heaven 17's debut album Penthouse and Pavement has become one of the defining albums of that decade, ushering in a new age of electro-pop that still resonates throughout the charts today.
Cited by the likes of La Roux as an inspiration and influence on the band, singer Elly Jackson says of the band: 'nstant respect... they sounded really fresh and exciting ' loads of attitude and I loved it. Loads of DJs still ramming home songs like 'Play To Win', playing them out at big nights and they still go down. The debut just still sounds great ' the textures and tones of it and the rhythms of it.'
The DVD will be available at every date of the forthcoming UK tour this November and December and from www.heaven17.com where fans can also receive a free download of exclusive behind the scenes photos taken by the band. In addition, all pre-orders taken via the band's website will be discounted from £17.99 to £14.99. First 200 DVDs purchased will also be signed by the band.
