Bought it again about a month ago because my previous version was scratched.Unfortunately looks like its long since OOP. So had to go through Discogs.But have always loved the lp since buying it mid 80s.
I really like the '78 live sets too.

someone tweeted this at me today, and it's probably otm"play Adventure on 45 & it sounds exactly like Crazy Rhythms"

A few years ago, someone popped up on an ILM thread claiming to have heard unreleased demos from this album that were amazing. Said they hadn't been bootlegged.
There are bootlegged live-in-the-studio sounding demos with arrangements that are not very different from the album version. Favourites are the instrumental versions of Glory and Foxhole. I think some of this has came out officially now, on the last reissue of Adventure.

Yeah I think he/she suggested these were different from the stuff that's surfaced on bootleg or on the rhino reissue? There's an acetate w/ different mixes that's floated around ... but from what I remember these were summer of 77 demos?

"Foxhole" is easily the worst thing on this album - by a fucking million miles. Apart from the solo, which is genius. Everything else is great. "Carried Away" is gorgeous.

... music and lyrics.

It's crossed my mind that Foxhole, with those lyrics and the sub-Keith Richards riff is sorta like a Dogs D'Amour/Hanoi Rocks type thing.

It's rockist, I tell ya.

"Carried Away" is gorgeous

meant to bold that "is", sorry

Shame there isn't a full gig from the time around on video. There is a good take of Foxhole from I think OGWT from '78.& the Hell line up in Terry Ork's loft.But would love a full set from 78.

'Carried Away' is gorgeous, I agree, but 'Foxhole' is fucking great.

some acetate-sourced rough mixes here — nothing earth-shattering, but cool:

i guess copy and paste the link -- must be un-embeddable for some reason.

yeah, got it twice i fact I think.
Couldn't find first copy i had a couple of years ago so I reordered and found out that the readily available one then was teh previous version. But did get the digipack version, probably from DIScogs.,
Do love taht lp, possibly not as much as the live material fro the era which can get really hypnotic.
Soun di sgood, bonus tracks are ok. Do love the title track which is pretty fun and r'n'r-y .
