Wow thankyou. A personal favourite of mine. Loved Level 42 original and love your cover too my friend. Was blown away when first heard it as track1 on Early Tapes album followed next by their signature tune imo Love Games. Reminds me of summer 1981 and my honeymoon holiday in San Antonio Ibiza.

[@MarkKildare]

Thank you my friend, thanks for the great feedback ...very much appreciated 👍 I've actually owed the Status since 1992 ...it was in much need of repair and refurbishment, so I sent it off to Status a few years ago to have it done ...and with the addition of fingerboard LED's installed ...they did a great job. No you won't have to wait 15 years 🙂 ... I'm hoping to upload more stuff soon. Thanks for the interest 👍

Thank you my friend, thanks for the great feedback ...very much appreciated 👍 I am playing through a TC Electronic RH750 Bass head ...and used the onboard compression.

@@MarkKildare so it looks I should be more open for TC equipment :) Anyway very precise playing you made on track, really insane precise, huge respect !

​@@BoogieBMWE34 Regarding TC equipment... Not necessarily, I don't have much experience with most other brands of Bass amplifiers, I've used the TC RH750 for quite a few years now, and before that I used Trace Elliott. I think you will be able to get a great tone/EQ from a wide range of different brands these days. It's whatever sounds good to your own ears I would say. Once again, thank you my friend for your kind words and great feedback ...it's greatly valued Cheers 👍
