Love an Adventure is the second studio album by Australian new wave band Pseudo Echo, released in 1985 by EMI Australia. The album peaked at No. 14 in Australia and produced three Australian top twenty singles, including "Don’t Go", which peaked at No. 4. In 1986, the album was reissued to include the hit single "Funky Town".[2]

In 1987, the album was released for the first time in North America with an alternate track listing, replacing three tracks on the original Australian release with re-recordings of three tracks originally featured on their previous album (making it a compilation of sorts).[3][1] While not included on initial pressings of the North American version,[2][4] "Funky Town" was quickly added to later editions, replacing a fourth track ("Don't Go") from the Australian version.

Background

[edit]

Following the success of Autumnal Park, Pseudo Echo returned to the studio in 1985, with an altered line up. Tony Lugton and Anthony Argiro both left and joined other bands (though Argiro is credited as drummer on the original release)[5]. They were replaced by brothers James Leigh and Vince Leigh (aka Vincent Dingli).[6]

Critical reception

[edit]

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Michael Sutton gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, and wrote of the album, "Their cover of Lipps Inc.'s ‘’Funkytown’’ was sadly misrepresentative of the album's stylish, hook-loaded dance rock. Pseudo Echo want people to move their feet and this album is stocked with dancefloor scorchers such as "Living in a Dream", "Listening" and the funky "Try". "Funkytown" may have given Pseudo Echo a glimpse of commercial success, but the rest of Love an Adventure proved that they were capable of more."[1]

Notes about version variations

[edit]
  1. ^ The original 1985 Australasian release lists Pierre as having performed only "bass synth", while non-group member Joe Creighton is credited with playing all bass guitars.
  2. ^ Vince Leigh's predecessor in the band, Anthony Argiro is credited (and pictured) as drummer on the original 1985 release. Given that there is overlap between tracks featured on the original and the 1987 release, it is unclear which tracks feature Argiro and which feature Leigh.
  3. ^ Although none of these additional musicians/vocalists are credited on the North American version of the album, it is likely that at least some of them are featured on both versions, as - for example - certain brass instruments are clearly audible on such songs as the title track ("Love an Adventure") on the American release.
