Genre: Jazz Funk

Level 42 peaked musically before their first official released album called "Level 42". On the success of the very well commercially sounding album, Polydor released a second album of even earlier music from the band. The record company released the "Early tapes" of Jazz funk fusion. On this CD Mark King instrumentally sounds like Stanley Clarke,the album is brilliant. The album proved that these guys were professional musicians and not as presented by the record company as five west London laddies.
