The Early Tapes · July/Aug 1980

The Early Tapes · July/Aug 1980 is a landmark record by Level 42, showing the English band's early pop/funk sounds. Featuring their first-ever single, "Love Meeting Love", this record is a must-have for any dedicated Level 42 fan. As a special curiosity, the single was recorded in just one take, with the band members all performing together in the same room, and was the first to feature their iconic synth-funk sound. Another interesting tidbit is that the album's title was inspired by a line in the band's hit single, "The Chinese Way". This classic record is an essential piece of Level 42's history.
