Try a good used record store, or check out the ads in Goldmine. Almost everything on Capricorn is out of print, although the best sellers (ABB @ Fillmore East, etc.) have been reissued on various Warner/Atlantic labels. I had "Cats On The Coast" and gave it away just last week; I would have gladly sent it to you had I received your posting first. Yes, it was on Capricorn; I don't think there were any others. >Incidentally, are they still around? I suppose they broke up when the >Allmans got back together, but I'm not sure... No, but I doubt that it had anything to do with the Allmans' reunion. I don't think anyone from Sea Level was involved in the re-formed Allmans; Mike Lawler was second keyboardist, David Goldflies bassist, and Dan Toler second guitarist on "Brothers of the Road". I don't remember if JJJ rejoined the Allmans or not, but I know none of the others did. >Any information about the band or its members, particularly Chuck Leavall >and Randall Bramlett would be greatly appreciated. Chuck Leavell (C. Level) is in studioland. There was an interview with him not too long ago in (I think) Musician; if I can find it I'll post a pointer to it. No idea of what happened to Randall Bramblett; you may not be aware that he recorded at least two solo albums prior to joining Sea Level after their first. Lamar Williams died of cancer a few years ago. (Now there's a macabre trivia question... what band has *two* dead bass players?) AWR
