    I’m a teenager, I was born recently, but Go West is my favorite band of all time! I love all their albums and songs. I own lots of their CDs and vinyls. My favorite song is “One Way Street”. I wish I was alive when they were bigger! Cool interview it’s always interesting hearing them talk :D

    Go West and Level 42 huge part of growing up for me ! And I grew up in the states!

      You and I are kindred spirits, my friend. My two absolute favourites are Level 42, and Go West. How you heard of, especially, Level 42, in the states, is beyond me. I’m English, so I remember them well. I have memories from both bands that really are a balm to my soul.

    Growing up in the early 80s these gents I love. Adore the British bands. Being an Ohio kid in the states. From the pet shop boys, the Fixx, duran Duran... level 42, God Go West is right up there for me. And Go West having a great tune King Of Wishful thinking part of one of my all time faves Pretty Woman... awesome gents!!

    40ish hip hop guy, was my first music love, but before I fell into hip hop “king of wishful thinking” was my first ever jam, age 8 or so. Always my answer to that question. Still kills me today. Saw the singer on a show “reborn in the USA” decades later where he made “me and mrs jones” such a work of art. Long live go west!

    Dancing On The Couch has been re released as a boxset and it contains The Runaway Train Concert from Hammersmith Odeon in 1987 on DVD featuring the late Alan Murphy on guitar.
    Also included is a CD of rareities which is worth hearing.
    Also, Alan can be heard playing gorgeous guitar work by Googling Murphys Breeze WMV. Its stunning stuff.
