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.

Great band! I used to get a lot of requests for their 1983 classic, Cashflow. A two fer of LPI would be awesome.

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 🙂

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

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.

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 »

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.
