On this installment of Revelations, Mike Lindup takes us through Level 42’s follow up to Something About You. Lessons in Love It was a single that was released right after and it had an immediate impact going to the charts in about every part of the world including hitting #12 here in the states and #3 in the UK as well as #1 in Spain, Sweden, South Africa, Germany and Finland. Lessons in Love is a hidden gem of the 80s that you don’t hear nearly as often anymore but is as good as envying that came from that wonderful year of 87. and one you’ll appreciate so much more after this story and musical walk though from Mike, you’ll find yourself adding it to your permanent playlist.
