I personally feel that Level One is a half step up from the debut. All the edgy instrumental work has stayed in, but with stronger songwriting this go round. Coryell's fiery guitar work remains intact, and there's quite a few melodies to latch onto. A very good fusion album. As for the cover, I think we can lay claim that Coryell is the original Leisure Suit Larry...
Ownership: LP: 1975 Arista. Just recently picked up the LP at a local garage sale. Surprised I hadn't run into it prior within the last 18 months, given its commodity status. Admittedly I wasn't looking for it at the local shops. This replaced the basic Wounded Bird CD that made up the original entry.
