Level 42 'lessons in love' C/D?

tbf there is a clear guitar break before the last chorus iirc

I guess they threw him a bone from time to time.

Mike Lindup's occasional spooky vocals are their secret weapon.

I served Lindup once when I was working a weekend job at WH Smith's, 20 odd years ago. He was wearing a Level 42 Racing Team jacket. I wanted to say something, having been a bit obsessed with the group when I was eleven. But now I was 18 and all I cared about what Public Enemy and Pearl Jam, so I just rang up his items and took his cash. I guess he was used to not being recognised. But I still feel a bit guilty about it.

I've come to terms with my Level 42 since then. They're patchy but they have some great jazz-funk jams and the odd ersatz soul gem. I can listen to World Machine and Running In The Family without skipping, for the most part.

This would be my favourite thing they've done, I think. Led by Lindup but with a great pre chorus sung by MK that makes the song.

And guitarist, whatever your name is

the magnificently named Boon Gould fyi

The Goulds left as King wanted to go down the full Lessons/Something About You/Running In The Family direction, they apparently didnt

Make the most of the 'pop' direction, rather. Gould/King were a great rhythm section
