Penthouse and Pavement is the debut studio album by English new wave and synth-pop band Heaven 17, released in September 1981 by Virgin Records. “(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang” was released as a single, but did not achieve chart success, partly due to a ban by the BBC. The album sold reasonably well, but was not a great commercial success on release. It has since been regarded as “an important outing”, is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and was re-released in 2010 in a three-disc special edition.
