From CD Universe: GUARANTEED Deluxe two CD expanded edition of the British Funksters' 1991 album. Level 42 scored a plethora of hits in the UK and Europe throughout the '80s, eventually making waves in the U.S. with their album World Machine. On Guaranteed, the band expanded their Funk, Jazz and Pop sound, incorporating more diverse musical elements yet never straying too far away from their signature style. Disc One contains all the tracks originally found on the LP, cassette and CD editions of the original release while Disc Two contains 16 bonus tracks taken from all the formats (7, 12 and CD) of the three singles lifted from the album and includes extended remixes, non-album tracks, single edits, and live recordings. The booklet contains lyrics and annotation. 28 tracks. Edsel. (http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7935185) FOREVER NOW Deluxe expanded two CD edition of the British Funksters' 1994 album. Confusingly, this album was initially issued as an 11 track release, but then reissued two years later with a reworked tracklisting. This double disc set features all 17 tracks from the two releases plus eleven more bonus tracks including remixes and non album tracks, making it the definitive version of Forever Now. Originally from the Isle of Wight, Level 42 racked up 230 weeks in the album charts throughout the '80s and early '90s with many fondly-remembered hit singles. With core members Mark King (bass and vocals) and Mike Lindup (keyboards and vocals), they had hit after hit with their distinctive mix of funky work-outs and plaintive ballads. 28 tracks. Edsel. (http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7935184) Was anyone else aware of these? Looks like they're giving both album the the Deluxe treatment. Both long overdue in my opinion. Also, I haven't seen a Digest since March 25th. Have any come out since then? If not, where- if anywhere- online are the discussions happening? Chris Lawless
