Heaven 17 - Fantastic Documentary & Luxury Gap Deluxe Edition

Heaven 17's second album, The Luxury Gap is getting the deluxe 3 disc treatment this October which got me thinking and digging about and for all things H17. Lo and behold what did I find? A magnificent and definitive documentary of the Sheffield legends' career from the very early days  in the Steel City,  Human League 1.0, chart success and the British Electric Foundation right through to the present day. It also includes a very rare piece of recent (from  2010) interview footage with Martyn Ware and the League's Phil Oakey  - in the same room! - talking about the split of the original Human League

Fantastic stuff from one (two!) of the most influential electronic pop groups of all time.
