Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Gold Vinyl Vinyl Records LP Vinyl Level 42 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 & 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 group039s 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 42039s first Top 10 album. It also contains the intense, political I Want Eyes, drummer Phil Gould039s favourite writing collaboration with Mark King, and five other ex&les of the group039s 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.

Official Gold Vinyl

Gold Vinyl adds a sense of occasion to a release, often reserved for special editions, anniversaries, and limited pressings. The warm metallic finish gives these records a standout look while still delivering the same care in sound quality and pressing standards. Whether it’s a new release or a classic reissue, gold vinyl offers a distinctive alternative to standard formats. It’s ideal for collectors and fans who appreciate thoughtful presentation and want something that feels a little more special in their record collection.

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 LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.
