Levine attended in Blackpool from 1963 to 1970. In 1996 Levine traced over 660 members of his own family on his mother's side and organised the enormous Cooklin family reunion, on 21 July in London. This has been called the biggest family reunion of all time[], and was covered on the BBC Evening News, and, extensively, in . Between 1997 and 1999 Ian Levine produced and directed the documentary film The Strange World of Northern Soul, an anthology of the underground music cult. This was a video box set, containing over 12 hours of footage with booklet and CD, and incorporating 131 performances by the legendary American soul acts who had, in most cases, never been filmed before. The event premiered at the King George's Hall in to an audience of 1300 in July 1999. The Strange World of Northern Soul was released on DVD as a six-disc box set, replete with extras, in 2003. In May 2000, Levine organised the reunion of his entire school class from the 1960s at in Blackpool. All 30 members of class 3A were found and brought together to experience lessons, in the gym, a rugby match, and an assembly with their original teachers, all in original style school uniform. The reunion was filmed and shown by the BBC. Contents Music career Levine is most noted for his work in the genres of , , , and . Earlier in his career he was a disc jockey at the , and became an avid collector of soul, , and . In the mid-1970s he also produced for disco, leading into the genre's evolution into Hi-NRG. Levine was also a resident DJ at the legendary gay disco , an important venue in 1980s gay . He and songwriting partner were among the main figures in the development of the Hi-NRG style and its moderate success in , writing and producing "So Many Men, So Little Time" by (two million sales), and "" by (seven million sales).

He also wrote and produced for the successful , and for . He has written and produced several TV themes including "Discomania", "Gypsy Girl", "ITV Celebrity Awards Show", "Christmasmania" and "Abbamania". In 1987, Levine began recording some former artists from . By 1989 the project had grown in size and a reunion of 60 stars in , outside the original building, attracted attention from several media outlets. was launched as a record label, initially distributed by PRT and later Pacific, then Charly and finally . By the time the project ended in the mid 1990s, over 850 songs had been recorded by 108 artists who had all been formerly signed to .

In 2007, Levine formed the label Centre City Records, on which he has released four albums: , Disco 2008, Yesterday and Tomorrow (a collection of his 30 greatest hits, re-interpreted by his current roster of artists) and Northern Soul 2008. In 2010 Ian Levine formed a new boy band called "Inju5tice". The band launched their career with the song "A Long Long Way From Home" which was a commercial failure. Ian backed away from the project shortly after. Inju5tice later went on to become ELi'Prime. Doctor Who Levine is well known as a fan of the television series Doctor Who. Levine was, in part, responsible for the return of a number of missing episodes of the show to the BBC's archives, and was involved in stopping the destruction of further serials after he learnt that they were being discarded. He also retained many off-air recordings. An unofficial continuity consultant during the early 1980s, some observers have speculated that the monster played by in the Doctor Who episode "" was based on Levine and reflects his role in fandom. The Abzorbaloff design was created by "Design a Doctor Who Monster"-winner William Grantham. "Doctor in Distress" In 1985, when the BBC announced that the series would be placed on an eighteen-month hiatus, and the show's cancellation was widely rumoured, Levine gathered a group of actors from the series, together with a number of minor celebrities, to record a protest single called . The participants included the series' two lead actors, and , as well as other actors associated with the series such as and . Also involved were members of the bands , and . was one of the musicians involved in the record's production. Levine has since claimed that the song was originally the brain child of , a production manager at the BBC and partner of , the producer of the show at the time. The single was released under the name “Who Cares?”, and was universally panned. Levine himself said later, "It was an absolute balls-up fiasco. It was pathetic and bad and stupid. It tried to tell the Doctor Who history in an awful high-energy song. It almost ruined me.” Later history In recent years he has claimed that he co-wrote the story with series script editor , although the writer's credit is officially given to “Paula Moore”, a pseudonym for Saward's then girlfriend, . Levine's claim is that he wrote the story outline and that Saward wrote the script, with Woolsey contributing nothing. This version of events was flatly denied by Eric Saward in a interview, as well as by Woolsey herself when she was interviewed by , and for their series of Doctor Who reference books. Levine at one time worked in close collaboration with the on various DVD releases of classic Doctor Who serials, though he no longer produces documentaries for them. Levine's efforts to locate missing episodes of Who continue. On 20 April 2006, it was announced on the BBC children's show that Levine would purchase a life-sized for anyone who would return one of the 108 missing episodes; details were provided on Blue Peter's website.

He claims to have the only complete set of in the world, with at least one copy of each DC comic book sold at retail (i.e., not including promotional or giveaway comics) from the 1930s to present. The last vintage comic book he obtained for his collection was a copy of New Adventure Comics #26, which he acquired at the in July 2005. Although Levine's complete DC comic book collection does not include all of the hundreds of different promotional (non-retail) and giveaway comic books that DC released over the decades (the particular identifying information for many of them has been lost due to DC not retaining decades-old licensing information), his DC promotional and giveaway collection contains the vast majority of all of the DC promotional and giveaway comic books currently known to have existed, and is perhaps the most complete DC promotional and giveaway collection currently in existence.
