Level 42 frontman and legendary bassist/ vocalist Mark King reflects on the band's golden era, deep album cuts, and the creative dynamic with founding members Boon Gould and Phil Gould. Plus, Mark talks about working with Allan Holdsworth; he touches on the legacy of his iconic Status Graphite basses. Far too short, but plenty of gold for Mark King fans. A special note to the show's dedicated listeners. I always said that if I got a chat with Mark King, I'd post it. So here it is! Unfortunately, the show isn't coming back, not yet anyway, but you never know what the future holds. God bless you all!
