Level 42

Originally released on Polydor Records in August 1981, this record holds a special place in music history, achieving cult status separate from the rest of Level 42's catalogue. The band, formed at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, brought together the talents of Mark King, Mike Lindup, and brothers Phil and Roland 'Boon' Gould, along with Wally Badarou, their studio-based synthesizer expert. Emerging from the Britfunk scene, Level 42 signed with Polydor and produced a series of captivating albums showcasing their inventive melodies and musical prowess. Their debut album features signature tracks like "Starchild," "Turn It On," and the UK Top 40 hit "Love Games." This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1981 Polydor UK release on high-quality 180gm vinyl, offering a glimpse into the band's evolution from indie beginnings to international stardom.
