    Welcome to the days before the mainstream pop stuff, welcome to the sunny (or rather: funky) side of Level 42.
    It took some 15 years until this double LP release went digital in its entirety (a cut down version on one CD was released in the 1990s), but here we are: one of the best white funk bands ever, headed by one of the best funk bass players ever - get ready for groovy & gripping live performance, from start to finish!
    The only downside of this recording: the overall sound is a bit thin, even after the remastering.
