Those things on Ebay are bootlegs.

Jay - are you the same J Tracey who was around all those years ago???? II guess you obviously should be, but your style of writing didn't seem to be as abrupt. I guess times have changed now as far as Level 42 goes. Back then we were riding high on adrenalin from 'Forever Now' and with Phil back things looked rosy - it was probably the hey-day of the digest.

There was few regulars back then, Win, Don, Lolita, Me, yourself, Matt Rice, Pat Flannagan - is Pat still around? Eric of course - I think there were 2 erics, I think AG joined up a little later than most of these. Takeo Sonoi! All these names from the past. I think all in all we achieved quite a lot - must have discussed every little nuance of everything remotely to do with Level 42. There's a few questions unanswered I suppose.

Long Box CD's. Americans (US) take note. I have a spare of the Leaving me Now promo postcard which has the single pressed into the postcard. It looks like a postcard, but you can play it on a turntable. It's very rare and I'm looking to swap it for a long box - or even just a part of a long box.

A 'lonbox' is 12" high, 6" wide (ish) and is either a cardboard box or a tall plastic caddy containing a CD. I have Guaranteed as a card box, and Running In The Family and Staring At The Sun as plastic caddies. If anyone has any of the others they are willing to swap - or sell me, PLEASE get in touch with me, as longboxes are really my favourite area of collecting, which makes it a great shame that I only have 3.

Anyone who dares complain that I've being going on about longboxes for years - why not put your energies into finding me the ones I need.

The problem with writing about old times is that you forget some people you really should have remembered. Sorry Carl + anyone else.

4 - New album finished, or so we thought...

Okay, so I am tying two different forums together here, but bear with me:

Norman wrote on the Level 42 Web Digest
http://www.level42webdigest.com  
SECTION:  Level 42      SUBHEADING: New album finished!!!
"Hey guys, I remembered something when I drank to less last weekend: The new album is allready finished for ages...
We all know after the release of Trash Mark said Trash 2 and 3 were allready finished but had to wait a year or two...
Well Mark... time's up!!!"

NORMAN- you do bring up a good point, whatever happened to this stuff?  HHHHHMMMMMM -  I bet, in fact I know a few "lucky" people (not me this time) have it and enjoying every bit of it!  Sworn by secrecy, Tossers!  :)

Okay, since some are moaning and complaining about this upcoming tour, re the "same ol' - same ol'".....

I am going  to send MK, via website, my idea for the next set list, if we all do this, maybe we can inspire him to the best set list ever this fall, it is worth a try, even if he receives only a few, we could do worse!

This is what I am sending him, TONY BASSETTE, I think highly recommends this set list, although I would love to see others ideas of a set list - maybe I have forgotten a few....

Ambiguities are construed against the drafter. I'd fight for the
trip. Note though that he never said he'd send you back... Of
course, there is a chance that it is all a joke, in which case that
hateful phrase from law school "no serious contractual purpose" also
springs to mind. However, everyone here should know that you have no
sense of humor, so that it is not likely a joke. I would suggest
splitting the difference, but for the fact that would leave you with
a one way trip half way to Cali, or, roughly, to the Western part of
the Atlantic Ocean.

Now about that "ticket". The price was unfortunately advertised
in error and I can't offer it any more. So sorry about that.
Never mind the fact that I'm running this sordid operation from my
government-owned computer. No need to get Loundy involved at this
point. I'm sure we can make a second arrangement. It's only
the natural thing.

Alex, you need to remember, I'll bend over backwards for a guy who
likes a good, solid session with the Steely Dan. Rush just doesn't
do it for me anymore. Why don't you try again tomorrow?

>From one 'Gaucho' to another, your welcome here in Santa Barbara anytime
AG. Just leave the elevator shoes at home.

On another note, my lovely (and tolerant, I might add) wife has arranged
for us to have the distinct pleasure of a London vacation, April 29 - May
3. My vote for Amsterdam and the red light distict was vetoed for some
strange reason. Anyone with advice about how best to enjoy London,
please email me. London's nice this year, they say.
