Take care!

After reading the postings on The Princes Trust gigs, I found myself
listening to the CD again yesterday. It got me thinking, if Level 42 had
ever done an album of cover versions, what would be on it? I remember on the
'Fait Accompli' video Mark having a kick about with "Tie a yellow Ribbon,"
(tongue firmly in cheek) but haven't heard them cover anything else. I
thought, hey they'd do a great cover of "Her big day" then I remembered it
was their's anyway!!!

So, today's challenge, if you're interested, is to come up with a track that
they could cover!!! With Princes trust in mind, I think they'd do a great
"Breakout" (Swing out sister) with Mike on the chorus.

In response to other postings, The Chinese Way is a true Masterpiece. (I
find it a shade laborious sometimes now, but I have heard it 10,000 times or
more!) It is still a tremendous live experience, and, for me was always a
highlight of a show. The more the band got bored with it and tried to tart
it up the better it became, especially when the horn section was at its best
towards the end.

Anyway, enough ravings...

Cheers all

Chris

   Another great band! After their second album (Getahead), the band
changed their name (by dropping the "Killed The Cat" part) because one
of the members left the group. The trio then released two CD singles ("I
Need Your Lovin", a cover or the Teena Marie song in '92, and "Gimme The
Sunshine" in '93) on the RCA / BMG label in the UK, and they did a
JAPAN-ONLY full-length CD called "Back To Front". Anyone interested in
trading for a copy of these rarities?

LIAPW,
Jason (and Sherry) Nuckels :-)

You know, Mac, talk like that will get you everywhere! ;)

I also forgot to mention that I have one video of their first hits
containing: Down To Earth, Ordinary Day, Misfit and Free - it's called
Running The Distance.
Can't say that the vids are particularly good or inventive but then
again I'm not impressed by most vids. ;)
I think I have a very old tape with some music lying somewhere if
anyone's interested...

Hello Cleveland !,
                            Hey guys I'm the nkotb, just joined up! Pete
Devlin from Reading England. ( No relation to Lisa) I first got to hear of
L42 back in 84 when I first started playing bass ( no surprises there
then!!) & was asked if I'd heard of Mr King to which I replied something
blasphemous like "who ?". I was told he played 'like a machine gun' & that I
ought to have a listen. I did & here we are. I got to see L42 around 18 - 19
times. Including Frankfurt Oct 1988 & the very last show at the Royal Albert
Hall. At the RAH show I decided that I would  have to show my tattoo off &
was rewarded after the gig by a tap on the shoulder & a guy shaking my hand
saying ' I'm Marks father & to see that on your back is fantastic'. I was
completely gobsmacked. I've seen Mike at Brighton last year & at Camden this
year. I went to 4 shows on the Oneman tour Inc the Ryde one ( wanna buy a T-
shirt ? did he ever sell them all ?) & finally got to shake the man's hand
after 15 years! I was also reintroduced to his dad & got to meet some of the
family which was great &. The tat came out again (on request). I also went
on trash tour 4 times if you count the show at music live before the Ronnie
Scotts gig in B'ham.  I like all the stuff old & 'new' that is not to say I
actually own it all - I not sure but I think the only tracks I haven't heard
are the thunderthumbs ones. Can't really give you a favourite song, depends
on my mood some fire me up & others touch me etc. My favourite piece of
music of all time though is Dune Tune. I don't know why (no pun intended!!)
but I find it magical. I haven't played myself for quite a while now I keep
meaning to get back into it but ya know how it is. Hope that wasn't too
waffley.

Cheers
