Music Documentary: Heaven 17 - The Story of `Penthouse and Pavement`


This is the tale of Sheffield`s Heaven 17. Two members from the Human League left to form another electronic outfit with a difference.  A detailed documentary covering the background of the members and the story leading up to the recording of their debut album - now regarded as a classic. All the main players except for one are in this film, and the Human League`s Phil Oakey makes a few appearances throughout and tells the story from his side too.  The split wasn`t totally amicable at the time and that spurred on both bands onto success - as each group of people had something to prove.
