Label GB

Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

Heaven 17 was formed in 1980 as a side project of the British Electric Foundation (B.E.F.), a production company created by Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware after their departure from The Human League. With hit singles like "Temptation" and "Let Me Go," Heaven 17 quickly made a name for themselves in the music industry.
The band's name, Heaven 17, was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's movie "A Clockwork Orange," where it is mentioned as one of the hip bands in a record store scene. Their unique sound and catchy tunes have garnered them a dedicated fan base over the years.
Similar artists to Heaven 17 include Blancmange, ABC, Kajagoogoo, China Crisis, Thomas Dolby, Yazoo, Propaganda, Howard Jones, Thompson Twins, Visage, Ultravox, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Altered Images, Japan Midge Ure Bronski Beat New Musik Soft Cell B.E.F.

Original members of Sheffield’s Human League, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh left after the first two albums and formed Heaven 17 in 1980. Named after a fictional band in Anthony Burgess’s “A Clockwork Orange”, they recruited Glenn Gregory on vocals (who had been the original choice for lead singer of the Human League).

Last album for the Virgin label, Teddy Bear, Duke and Psycho (the band members’ nick-names) was released in September 1988, and featured the singles The Ballad Of Go Go Brown and Train Of Love In Motion. Easily the equal of its predecessors, and perhaps the least-known of the band’s albums, it features their perfect take on the sound of the Philadelphia International label, Responsibility.
