DESCRIPTION
Formed in the last embers of the 70's Level 42 started as a Jazz Fusion band before embracing dance rock for which they would be best known. The band's first single Love Meeting Love was released in 1980 to much critical acclaim which led to the debut album, the self-titled Level 42 which charted in the top 20. Throughout the 80's the band released numerous albums and toured regularly building a large and devoted fan base. Volume Two contains all the Level 42 albums from 1985 - 1988 in their original glory. Regarded as the bands most commercial period, these records feature all the hits from the time including: Running in the Family, Lessons in Love and Leaving Me Now. Discs 6 -10 contain all the B-Sides, 7" Mixes, remixes and rare versions from those eras. Compiled in conjunction with Level 42 and band experts Paul Wallace, Paul Waller and Simon Carson. Sleeve notes by Record Collectors Daryl Easlea who has spoken to band members current and past. Housed in a sturdy box to fit 10 CDs and booklet containing a full track annotation and rare memorabilia
