1979 saw the band Level 42 coming together and beginning to develop their unique style. By 1980 the band had signed to Elite records.This is where it gets interesting.
Elite records produced a White Label 12 inch record to promote 2 artists.
Released in either 1979 or 1980 1100 white label records (Elite DAZZ-04) were produced commercially (however this is sometimes disputed as only being 500).
Level 42 provided the B-side of the 12 inch with the instrumental track 'Sandstorm'.
The A-side was provided by Powerline (an alias for Andy Sojka) with the rare sax version of 'Journey to...'.
The release was purely commercial, the 'white labels' were used to give the record 'underground' credibility.
This 12 inch is now one of the most sort after by Level 42 fans as it is their first commercially available record.
