Level 42 started out as a jazz-funk fusion band, slowly moving towards a more commercial pop and funk feel. The group had a number of hits during the 1980's including the number 1 hit 'Lessons In Love,' followed by the successful track 'Something About You.' Their next two recordings 'Running In The Family,' and 'Staring At The Sun' were also big hits in the UK. 'Live In Reading' sees the band perform some of their hits, the concert was recorded at Reading Concert Hall, December 2001.
