"Guaranteed" (1991)

"Take Care Of Yourself" is a song released by the British pop/jazz-funk group Level 42 in 1989. The song was released on the compilation Level Best. It was the last song recorded with guitarist Alan Murphy in the band, who died on October 19, 1989 of AIDS. The music video is a retrospective of rock styles from the 60's and through to the 80's, and features (for that time) state-of-the-art animation. In some ways it is reminiscent of the video "We Close Our Eyes" by Go West. Lindup, Husband and King appear several times dressed as hippies, punks and heavy metal musicians. Murphy doesn't appear in the video.
