Description

Adventure is the second and final studio album by American art-punk pioneers Television, originally released in April 1978. Following the critically acclaimed Marquee Moon, the album continued the band's distinctive combination of angular guitar work, poetic songwriting and atmospheric rock.

The album reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart and features Glory, Foxhole, Days, Careful, Marquee Moon-era favourite The Dream's Dream and Ain't That Nothin'.

Pressing Notes

This is the original 1978 UK Elektra pressing, catalogue number K 52072. The UK edition was issued with a distinctive picture sleeve and lyric/credits insert. Original UK copies are documented with both standard and limited translucent red vinyl variants.

The original UK pressing is particularly interesting because the supplied lyric insert incorrectly places "Carried Away" as the first track on Side Two, although it actually concludes Side One.
