Description
Australian synth-pop band Pseudo Echo formed in 1982 and were influenced by the emergent British New Romantic bands Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Ultravox. By 1984, Pseudo Echo were second in popularity in their homeland only to the mighty INXS. According to rock music historian Ian McFarlane, Pseudo Echo “combined flash clothes, blow-wave hairstyles, youthful exuberance and accessible synth-pop to arrive at a winning combination … and found a ready-made audience among teenagers who fawned on the band’s every move”.

Their international breakthrough hit was their pop-rock makeover of the Lipps Inc track, the disco classic ‘Funky Town’. This was a worldwide smash hit in 1987 reaching #1 in Australia and Canada, #8 in the UK and #6 on the US Billboard Hot 100!

This is a 2-disc expanded edition of their second album, “Love An Adventure”, that ‘Funky Town’ originally appeared on. The tracklisting replicates the European / North American version of the album that was released in 1987, but with the addition of 18 bonus tracks.

The bonus tracks include the definitive collection of the contemporaneous promotional remixes that were hitherto exclusive to North America as well as the B-sides and 12” versions of the singles that were commercially released from the album in the UK and US.

I'm 100% in; this was probably my favorite album of 1987. I expect I still know 90+% of the words to every song on the original LP. They sure put on a great show when they toured here to support it, too.

Sadly this issue is very different to the debut album Autumnal Park issued in 1984. This issue is a compilation of the debut album and the 2nd album (much weaker)
Unfortunately they managed to lose the master tapes to Autumnal Park!
If you can get it on CD (vinyl rip) Autumnal Park is the best recording of Pseudo Echo

Sad to read this. With this knowledge I must defer to a used copy when found. Damm, I have the original CD release and I was very excited for a re-master. Thanks for the heads up Adrian!
