Level 42 - Almost There & Heathrow - New York Bottom Line - 1983.  At the end of 1982, Earth, Wind and Fire members Larry Dunn and Verdine White spotted the band. Impressed with their musicianship, they offered to produce the group's next album. During recording, the band played their first US concert at New York's Bottom Line as part of the 'Britain Salutes New York' festival. They had long been revered in the city by cooler club DJs. Starchild itself turned up frequently in Francois Kervorkian's set. The album didn't disappoint: Recorded at LA's Complex Studio, Standing In The Light was a successful polishing of their surfaces for the burgeoning American market.
