Red Vinyl Vinyl Records Heavyweight LP Level 42 Level 42039s 1987 34Running In The Family34 album is being reissued by Proper UMC and is presented with scrupulous attention to the detail of the original UK first pressings and available in audiophile 180g red vinyl.If 1985039s World Machine captured Level 42 on the brink of stardom, then Running In The Family turned them into arenafilling superstars, amazing for a group who, at their core, were far more Mahavishnu Orchestra than Dire Straits. Its success is amazing for an album that started by accident At the beginning of 1986, 34Something About You34 had gone Top 10 in the States and Level 42 were spending a great deal of time there. Polydor requested that the group come up with some new singles to promote in the UK, so Mark King went to his home studio and came up with 34Lessons In Love34 a song that began the process of the album.It was quickly apparent that 34Lessons In Love34 was a hit. And it was proved to be, becoming the group039s biggest international success. As recording then began formally, with new song 34Running In The Family34, it was clear they had a follow up and title track for their next album. Released in March 1987, Running In The Family entered the UK chart at No 2 and spent over a year on the listings as subsequent singles 34To Be With You Again34, touching ballad 34It039s Over34 and 34Children Say34 kept the album039s profile high. The group039s populist jazzfunkpop was at its peak the electric dance track 34Fashion Fever34 and the swaying 34Two Solitudes34 added to this commercial sound.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official Red Vinyl

Eye-catching and collectable, red vinyl brings a bold twist to any record collection. These coloured pressings stand out both visually and sonically — perfect for limited editions and special reissues.
