STUNNING NEW BOX SET AND WORLD TOUR CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY FOR 80S LEGENDS
ALL THE SINGLES, RARITIES AND THE MUCH RUMOURED ACOUSTIC ALBUM
On the eve of Level 42's 30th anniversary, Universal Music are proud to announce the release of 'Living It Up', a beautifully packaged 4-disc box set that includes all 34 of the band's A-side single releases, including 'World Machine (remix)', which was a US only release, a collection of long lost studio recordings, previously unreleased demos and rare tracks that have only previously been available on vinyl. The box set's fourth disc is the much rumoured Level 42 acoustic album.
Recorded at the beginning of 2010 by Level 42's lead singer & bassist Mark King and keyboards & vocalist Mike Lindup, the acoustic album features stunning acoustic versions of ten classic Level 42 tracks. It is the first time anything like this has been attempted in the band's history - and the results are quite brilliant.
The box set is completed by extensive sleeve notes by Mark King, music journalist & author Paolo Hewitt, who was an early champion of Level 42, and Earth, Wind & Fire bassist Verdine White, who recounts his fond memories of working with the band during his time as their producer.
In addition to the release of the 'Living It Up' box set, Level 42 will embark on a 30th Anniversary World Tour, with dates across Japan, North America, Europe and the UK between June and November 2010, as well as playing festivals in Europe and UK.
