THE EARLY TAPES </A><SMALL>(JULY/AUG 1980) POLYDOR 831 081-2
1982 </SMALL>This is to me the band at their non-commercial best. The album is mainly instrumental.

LEVEL 42</A><SMALL>POLYDOR 821 935-2

Time favorite Love Games.

The Pursuit Of Accidents</A> <SMALL><SMALL>POLYDOR 810 015-2 1982
</SMALL>Well I still like this CD a lot.
It has The Chineese way and You Can't Blame Louis ... I feel this show Mike Lindup to his best but with a good slapping of Mark for good measure.

865-2 1982</SMALL></SMALL> Includes the Awesome Micro-kid & The
Sun goes down Truly an album so funky it should have been banned. Many of
these tracks were released as promo's on twelve inch. Profound lyrics

TRUE COLORS</A> <SMALL><SMALL>POLYDOR 823 542-2 1984
</SMALL></SMALL>The only thing you really need to say about this album is
that it includes their first single that got them noticed HOT WATER foreplay
on a bass n synth which is fully downloadable.

A PHYSICAL PRESENCE</A> <SMALL><SMALL>POLYDOR 825 677-7
1985</SMALL></SMALL> Still the original line up & things were going well
for the band by now they had a loyal following (Own up the fan who started
the whistle EY-O thing dare ya!) All the songs any fan could want. It capture's
the feel and sound of LEVEL 42 but I would have a liked even more depth to
the bass presence in the mix but Greg Jackman did a great job. Featuring
on track 10 Mark King s' own slap n pluck fest into LOVEGAMES.

WORLD MACHINE</A> <SMALL><SMALL>POLYDOR 827487-2
1985</SMALL></SMALL> Well this was the album IMHO that made them truly famous
and international. My favorite from this album Lying Still. By this time
they had released 14 singles, 6 Albums which had sold over 1 500 000 copies
worldwide.

LIVE AT WEMBLEY</A> <SMALL><SMALL>WORLD FAMOUS RECORDS
WFRCD5 1989</SMALL></SMALL> A new format still with Mark King, Mike
Lindup but with Alan Murphy on Guitar & Gary Husband on drums. In points
a little too much howlin' guitar and not quite enough rhythm guitar for me
Boon could howl his guitar but his rhythmic work was now sadly missed.

THE REMIXES</A> <SMALL><SMALL>POLYDOR 5130 085-2
1992</SMALL></SMALL> The album that keeps me company in the car All the tracks
have been made somewhat more suitable for the dance floor. The last track
the hit combination truly is a work of art by someone who understands LEVEL42
mixed by Ben Liebrand.
