Naked as Advertised


Naked as Advertised is the eighth studio album by the English synth-pop band Heaven 17. It was originally released in 2008, on the label Just Music, three years after their previous studio album, Before After. The album contained re-workings of tracks such as "Temptation (Heaven [17 song)|Temptation]" along with versions of Martyn Ware songs best known from his time with the Human League, including "Being Boiled" and "Empire State Human", as well as a cover of The Associates' hit "Party [Fears Two]". Following the departure of Ian Craig Marsh in 2007, this is the first Heaven 17 album with the band consisting of the duo of Glenn Gregory and Ware.
