"Love's Great Adventure" is a single released by Ultravox on 12 October 1984.[1] [2] Having enjoyed massive radio airplay that autumn, the single became Ultravox's thirteenth Top 30 single in Britain, and was their last major hit in the UK, peaking at #12 in the UK Singles Chart.[3]
Unhappy to release another single from their recent album Lament, Billy Currie said in 1984 that the band wanted to do something different and do a one-off single totally separate from any album, recorded in a more immediate way than Lament.[4]
The song was not released on a studio album, instead appearing on their 1984 compilation album The Collection.
An episode of the BBC series Inside No. 9, also called "Love's Great Adventure", used this song as its closing theme.
