The Adventure Babies - Laugh
I hinted at this a few months back but haven't been able to get a clean rip from my vinyl copy. Thankfully I had the CD version tucked away in a box somewhere. The world missed out on the wit and charm of The Adventure Babies, Factory introduced them at the Cities In The Park festival (see here) but everybody was e-ed up and too busy with the Happy Mondays, and the dying days of Madchester/Factory.If you need a label for them, tag their tunes as baggy-folk. It's creative multi-instrumentalist semi-acoustic pop mixed with clever lyrics and a very English beatlesque quality. There have been many bands since then and even around today who would all have wished they were smart enough to write songs as good as Barking Mad. The Adventure Babies and Factory Records are sadly no longer with us, but Travis (and) Perkins still are!
Ripped from a compact disc album released on Factory Records (FACD 335) in 1992 to high quality lossless FLAC audio.
