Reviews
Great Album, Level 42 are quite different on this from their later stuff, less pop more Jazz/Funk. This UK pressing POLD 5067 is a great pressing, clear dynamic and low noise (providing it is in good condition).
The track 'The Pursuit Of Accidents' is one of my go to tracks whenever I have changed any element of my deck or system as it is complex in places, dynamic and has great width in the soundstage.
