Thanks for this. Loved all their singles (only 3 I think)
Thanks for this, it’s one of my favorites from Martin Rushent. The U.S. pressing has a slightly different mix of Love Cascade worth checking out.
LOVED these two Leisure Process tracks back in the day … delighted to hear them again. Thank you.
You’re welcome VanceMan 🙂
Great band! I used to get a lot of requests for their 1983 classic, Cashflow. A two fer of LPI would be awesome.
Not sure if you will get a two fer RollingStoner but I will do my best to post more in the future 🙂
YES!!! “Cashflow” is tremendous!!! That radio station I was telling you about used to play that track too!! And the “Million Dollar Mix” is off-the-charts!! Paul, I LOVE that you LOVE NEW WAVE!! Yes, it’s my favorite genre too!! And your site has the best NEW WAVE EVER COMMITED TO THE DIGITAL FORMAT!!
I so WORSHIP YOU!!!
Jeff
Thanks, Paul. A great single that I have in my collection but your rips are always going to be better than anything I can record. And I agree with the comments about Cashflow. I must dig it out and play it. The B-side is great too – an instrumental that a friend of mine used to use as a theme tune during his pirate radio days 🙂
I see Gary Barnacle’s name here and I loved his sax work on so many other projects. You thrill me Paul with so many AWESOME TRACKS!!!
Jeff
Thanks Jeff 🙂
Thanks Paul a million. This is awesome. Please keep the new wave coming!
You’re welcome Omar. Of course more New Wave is coming it’s my favorite genre 🙂
Wow, Leisure Process wow, that’s a big surprise. My mind is blown.
As Joy says.. “Great musicians with a great producer making great music 🙂
LPI were a criminally underlooked project in the UK.”
Thanks very much, yet again Paul
You’re welcome Emodleo 🙂
A great treat! One of the singles I played till death during my youth.
Glad to hear are enjoying it Paddy 🙂
What a surprise yet again, Paul. I think of myself as knowing quite a bit regarding Eighties music. But time and time again you catch me off guard with a fabulous release completely unknown to me. Well done 🙂
Oh, it´s so Level 42. The bass…. The “Chant Has Begun” drum line.
Great, Paul. I love it.
Thank you Song_and_Dance 🙂
Everyday, when I come here Paul, I am overjoyed by what you present to us!! So many fabulous 12-inch singles truly boggles the mind! I so love you and this site, truly!! And now with this single too! I love this band and it’s a shame that they never got the shot they certainly deserved. And to have Martin Rushent as a producer is a godsend! His productions and mixes are creative and inspired. And as I’ve said on many occasions, you provide so many of our producer favorites on your site. I do get very much humbled by all… Read more »
I am a big fan of Martin just love his sound it’s moody but still makes you want to move. It’s very sad that he is no longer with us. And this band so overlooked I am glad that many of my readers like this single 🙂
Great musicians with a great producer making great music 🙂
LPI were a criminally underlooked project in the UK.
Do you have “Anxiety” by any chance.. or any other LPI ?
I’m sure many other BTG fans will enjoy hearing this. Many, many thanks Paul.
I will have to check Jay. If I do I will post them because they are one of my favorite overlooked bands 🙂
