First of all, THANK you for posting to the list. You have ended a three-week 
lull in activities here!

"Guaranteed: Live" is not a CD, but it is a video/laserdisc. I have a copy
of the video and a friend of mine has the laserdisc. It goes for about
$30-$45. Could be less, since no one is really buying it. If there
is a Tower Records chain nearby, you might find it there.

Your brother might have every album, but does he have "The Early Tapes?"
It came out in '83 but was recorded before their first album was, in 
1980. It's available primarily as an import. Mostly instrumental, fusion
type stuff.

Also out is an "alternate" compilation album, called "On A Level" which
just came out this year. Most of the tracks come form "Early Tapes" and
some of the other albums...It doesn't duplicate "Level Best" that much, al-
though all but one of the songs on "On A Level" are already commercially
available...all but the LIVE version of "Physical Presence," which I heard
the other day and IMHO, is WAY better than the version you hear on 
"World Machine"!

Take A Look,
Elson

Trainspotter alert: the live "Physical Presence" was originally the B-side
to "It's Over".

Subject: LEVEL 42's NEW SINGLE!!!!!!!

I heard about L42's new single....It's called...

<drum roll please Phil, or Gary> :) 
	
<a little keys, Mike...>

<a short bass solo, please, Mark...>

	"TIRED OF WAITING"

Yes, folks, the new L42 single is called "Tired Of Waiting," (it echoes
my sentiments about L42s new album exactly!) And it's slated to be relased
in UK/Europe either sometime this month or in January.

What does it sound like? I have NO idea. But it probably sounds good!

Tired of Waiting,
Elson
