Nah, I disagree.
Tons of bands are revisiting old material these days; it's quite the "in
thing". Whether it's remixing old tracks, performing classic albums in
full, or re-forming an original line-up - nothing wrong with that.
IMO the League released some complete toss in the 80s/90s (post-Dare),
but their 2001 album was a welcome return-to-form and FAR from
embarrassing.
Can't speak for Heaven 17 though as I was never into them more than just
the 80s singles, so I've no idea what their new stuff is like.
Cheers,
Janean

Subject: RE: [BlindYouth] Heaven 17 cover The Human League
I'm new on the list so really shouldn't be saying this - but the fact
that Heaven 17 are covering old League songs more than a quarter of a
century after they were first released demonstrates just how embarassing
most of the output from both parties has been since the split.
Love the version of Party Fears Two. BEF always bought out the best in
Billy Mackenzie.
