Description
Level 42's 1987 album 'Running In The Family' is getting a re - issue from Proper / UMC. This re - issue is crafted with extreme care, closely replicating the details of the original UK first pressings. It comes in a high - end audiophile 180g red vinyl, offering an amazing listening experience.
If 'World Machine' in 1985 marked Level 42 on the verge of stardom, 'Running In The Family' turned them into arena - filling superstars. It's quite remarkable for a band more influenced by the Mahavishnu Orchestra than Dire Straits.
The album's creation was accidental. In early 1986, 'Something About You' hit the Top 10 in the States, and the band spent a lot of time there. Polydor asked for new UK singles, and Mark King created 'Lessons In Love' at his home studio, which kick - started the album. 'Lessons In Love' quickly became a hit and their biggest international success.
Recording formally began with the new song 'Running In The Family', which became the title track. Released in March 1987, it entered the UK chart at No 2 and stayed on the listings for over a year. Singles like 'To Be With You Again', the touching ballad 'It's Over', and 'Children Say' kept the album popular. The band's jazz - funk - pop style was at its peak, with tracks like the electric 'Fashion Fever' and the swaying 'Two Solitudes' adding to its commercial appeal.
