"Lessons In Love" from 1986 was the first single of the group's forthcoming album "Running In The Family". This grouping assembles all versions where "Lessons In Love" is the lead single, usually backed by the live version of "Hot Water" from their "A Physical Presence" album released one year prior.

A limited edition version, also including "Hot Water" but backed with a remix of "Something About You", was also issued as Lessons In Love / Something About You

referencing Lessons In Love (Extended Version) (12", 45 RPM, Promo) POSPA 790

This is not a promo (Although the label design is similar to promos issued around this time). Just the commercial release in a black die-cut sleeve

Pretty cool bassline in many of the Level 42 tracks. Smooth sound and big hit back then
