Description

Originally released on Polydor Records in August 1981, it remains a very special and discrete record and has gone on to achieve a cult status separate from the rest of their August catalogue. From building a fervent following through the nascent Britfunk scene, they signed to Polydor and went on to make a series of fascinating albums. Although Level 42 had recorded - and made waves - for indie label Elite, they signed to Polydor and released this album, with three of their original calling cards, 'Starchild', 'Turn It On' and the mighty, UK Top 40 breaching 'Love Games'. By the mid '80s Level 42 had become arena-flling superstars, with their commercial pop-funk with everyman lyrics that delighted fans not just in Europe, but also in America, too. Hear the roots of that on this frequently surprising, always entertaining debut album. Think of this album as the missing link between Talking Heads and Herbie Hancock.
