Background
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. They were replaced by brothers James Leigh and Vince Leigh (aka Vincent Dingli).
Reviews
Michael Sutton from allmusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying: 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.
Track listing
Credits
Additional musician credits on Australasian release
Note: Although none of these additional musicians/vocalists are credited on the North American version of the album, certain brass instruments are clearly audible on such songs as the title track ("Love an Adventure") on the American version. It is unclear which additional players appear on this version.
In addition, while Vince Leigh is pictured/credited on the North American release, the band's previous drummer, Anthony Argiro is pictured on the back cover of the Australasian version. Given that many of the same tracks appear on both versions, it is unclear which tracks feature Leigh and which feature Argiro.
