Although like ‘B-Movie’ very much of its time, ‘Adventures In Success’ couldn’t be more different. It’s tempting to call it a novelty record, but it’s really not. Sounding not too dissimilar to Tom Tom Club, it’s message may feel tongue in cheek, but it’s out there anyway and when it was released, even though the eighties were just underway, the self-centred message couldn’t be clearer. Not that there’s anything wrong with being successful if the ruthlessness that often goes with it can be sidestepped. Anyway, that’s enough gravitas. Tune!
