Description:
The Adventures were a rock band formed in Belfast in the 1980s who moved to London where they had hits in the UK Singles Chart during the 1980s. Released back in 1985,"Theodore and Friends" is an album that proves The Adventures were one of the most underrated bands around at that time. The first single from the album 'Another Silent Day' failed to chart, but it was followed later in 1984 by the superb 'Send My Heart' - a top quality 80's single which made it into the UK top 40. This was then followed up by the hit single 'Feel The Raindrops' that was a massive radio and chart hit. This eagerly awaited re-press contains the original UK album re-mastered and also contains seven bonus tracks. The booklet with an exclusive interview with guitarist contains rare memorabilia as well. Much sought after release on CD Sleeve-notes by Classic Rock's Malcolm Dome with original member Pat Cribben Contains the top 20 hit 'Feel The Raindrops'
"Theodore And Friends (Expanded)" on CD brings back the shimmering, melodic pop of The Adventures in a lovingly curated edition by Cherry Red. Originally acclaimed for its rich songwriting and atmospheric arrangements, the album captures the band's blend of guitar-driven pop, emotive vocals and widescreen, almost cinematic production.

Over the years, their work has developed a cult following among listeners who appreciate timeless songwriting and detailed production. Releases like "Theodore And Friends" helped establish the band's profile and continue to be seen as highlights in their catalogue.
