Time for your occasional reminder that - as far as I know - Ian Craig Marsh is still missing!

Have you seen this man?

If so, let us know!

(And don't bother Ian Craig - he is a different person and was last reported teaching music and drama in a girl's school. I sure his job is difficult enough without people asking him, "Excuse me, Did *you* write this song?")

"Come Live With Me" from the album, "The Luxury Gap" by Heaven 17.

Heaven 17, The Luxury Gap, 1983 on Virgin

Heaven 17 included Martyn Ware and Ian Criag Marsh who had been founding members of The Human League – Glenn Gregory took the place of Philip Oakey to make Heaven 17.

This was their second studio album (and best selling album) – with the single “Temptation” being the best known hit.

My copy, via Pitchfork Records in Concord NH, is a UK pressing from CBS’s Aston Clinton plant. (The US release was on Arista and has a different track list).
