Compare and contrast with this early Level 42 release from ’82 /’83. Two versions and a variety of mixes. With John Luongo getting his hands on the U.S. twelve for a very different, rarer mix with plenty of synth and a more pronounced bassline.
Real instruments and more funk that you’d get in a whole crate of vinyl.

Polydor – 811 537-1

| A2 | The Chinese Way (Dub Version) | 6:37 |
| B1 | The Chinese Way (U.K. Mix) | 7:03 |
The UK 12″ had the added bonus of a live track “88” with plenty of crowd participation and more of a jazz / funk sound.

I pick up any L42 12″ers but have not encountered those two yet. I loved how US Polydor always had different mixes to the UK copies. Glad they had some hits here in the mid-late 80s. I got to see the original lineup in a club right before the Gould brothers left the mothership. Smoky hot!! Got my US “Hot Water” 12″ signed that first time. Same friend and I saw them open on next tour for Tina Turner in arena. Blew off Tina Turner to meet band after gig. Worth it!
Hi there. Can you re-up the Level 42 singles please? Thank you very much. Kevin
All or just this one ?
