Standing In The Light Gold Heavyweight Vinyl. This Heavyweight Vinyl is in stock. For more check out all the official Level 42 merchandise & vinyl available for home delivery with Vinyl Records London, only £26 +P&P Standing In The Light, the much loved third album by Level 42, is available again on LP as a strictly limited audiophile gold vinyl pressing.Level 42 bassist and vocalist Mark King, keyboard playervocalist Mike Lindup, guitarist Boon Gould, drummerlyricist Phil Gould and studioonly whizz kid Wally Badarou were, by 1983, wellrespected survivors of the early 80s Britfunk explosion, but had yet to really break big. An unmissable live draw, they had yet to enjoy proper commercial success. Polydor could sense this and sent the group to LA to work with Larry Dunn and Verdine White from Earth, Wind amp Fire, to add an extra dimension to their sound.However, it was not to be an EWF horn and mysticism fest Standing In The Light tweaked and commercialised the group’s sound without losing their uniquely British take on jazzfunk. Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind was the first single taken from the album and just missed the UK Top 40 however, the next release gave the group their first Top 10 hit and a taste of the success they would savour in the coming years. Living It Up The Sun Goes Down was their first Top 10 hit in the UK, and is a funkbased scorcher. As a result, Standing In The Light was Level 42’s first Top 10 album. It also contains the intense, political I Want Eyes, drummer Phil Gould’s favourite writing collaboration with Mark King, and five other examples of the group’s unique groove.Standing In The Light is presented with scrupulous attention to the detail of the original UK first pressings and available in audiophile 180gm gold vinyl. Whether replacing muchloved originals, or adding to a collection afresh, these are a superior way to enjoy such enduring and influential music.
Heavyweight vinyl is pressed on thicker, denser material—typically weighing 180 grams or more. This added weight offers improved durability, reduced warping, and is often believed to provide better sound quality due to more stable playback. Many audiophile releases, reissues, and deluxe editions are pressed on heavyweight vinyl, making it a popular choice among collectors and music enthusiasts who value both performance and longevity. While it doesn’t automatically guarantee superior audio, its solid, premium feel and association with high-quality production standards have made it a trusted format for serious vinyl fans.
Vinyl records are a timeless format that continues to captivate music lovers with their warm, analogue sound. Unlike digital formats, vinyl offers a rich, textured listening experience that many argue feels more authentic and immersive. With their larger artwork and tangible presence, records bring a sense of nostalgia and artistry to any music collection.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of vinyl, records have a unique ability to connect listeners to music on a deeper level. Their physical grooves and the ritual of placing a needle on a spinning disc create a tactile and engaging experience. From classic albums to modern releases, vinyl remains a cherished way to enjoy music.
