LEVELLERS RELEASES
MAKE U HAPPY, the first single from the new album TRUTH & LIES, will be released on 18th April – on Monday. The single will be available on two CDs, one with the b-side Not in My Name and one with Prisoner and What u Know. It will be available on 7" vinyl with Not In My Name on the b-side. Make u Happy will also be available as a download from the link below. Make u Happy will be available as an individual download at £0.99p and all three tracks: Make u Happy, Prisoner & What u Know (Live) for £1.99. Download from www.pinnacle-digital.co.uk/levellers/makeuhappy/ to be sure the copy you download counts towards the chart position & or pre-order from the Townsend Records link below, to be sure you get a copy in the first week. The single should be available in your usual music shop but if you do plan to get it there it is worth asking them to pre-order you a copy so that you can get it in the first week.
If you can all spare 99p to download the single, even if you are going to buy a hard copy as well, we can get Make U Happy into the charts and played on the radio, and we will love you for ever!
It is important that you all get your copies in the first week to get into the chart, so it is really worth pre-ordering your copy or download. The shops have let us down in the past by not having enough copies to go round.

TRUTH & LIES the new album, will be on sale 23rd May. You can pre-order the album for £10.99 and the single in all formats from Townsend Records
