The band were fronted by the distinctive vocals of Terry Sharpe, while their songs were largely written by talented guitarist Pat Gribben. • The Sea Of Love, their second album, was their most successful. Issued on Elektra in May 1988, the album reached No. 30 on the UK charts. It was fuelled by the success of the memorable single ‘Broken Land’, a haunting ballad which peaked at No. 20 (it was the most played song on Radio 1 that year). This expanded reissue is the first time that it has been revisited on CD in nearly 30 years. The eight bonus tracks are culled from the various singles plucked from the album – ‘Broken Land’, ‘One Step From Heaven’ and ‘Drowning In The Sea Of Love’. Pat Gribben has been interviewed for the sleeve-notes and Terry Sharpe has supplied rare images of the band to make this a worthy new edition of this popular album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Red","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50436017258827,"sku":"1160008","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/45f46f5f-694e-4e38-8f0a-a4007f1c8545_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726911038"},{"product_id":"once-more-with-feeling","title":"Once More With Feeling","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Adventures\u003c\/strong\u003e have released their brand new studio album, their first in over 30 years!

I found myself spending more time in my little home studio and I could dedicate myself to a songwriting binge. ‘Hanging Tree’ was the first song I finished and this gave us the impetus we needed. Songwriting is all about running the rusty water out until the clear stuff flows. The album was written and largely recorded on my home computer set-up. ‘L.U. C. Y.’ is the first lead vocal by \u003cstrong\u003eEileen\u003c\/strong\u003e to appear on any Adventures album - a writing collaboration between \u003cem\u003eCathy Dennis\u003c\/em\u003e and myself.

All the bass, electric guitars, and live drums were recorded at Einstein Studios.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Red","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51040725270859,"sku":"2237802","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2025-01-03_at_23.14.57_06af844c_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1735987303"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/the-adventures.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
