Let Me Go (Heaven 17 song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Let Me Go" (labelled as Let Me Go! on the sleeve of the single) is a single by Heaven 17, taken from (and released several months before) their second album The Luxury Gap. It reached #41 on the UK singles chart, the lowest chart placement among the singles from that album. The song also spent five weeks at #4 on the American dance chart in 1983. All Music Guide cites it as "a club hit that features [Glenn] Gregory's moody, dramatic lead above a percolating vocal and synth arrangement." [1]
