Living The Adventure - The Best Of Loopy

It was a gruelling process.  Choosing which of Loopy's officially released tracks from the past 20 years could be put on a Best Of compilation.

And what to call it?  "This Vanity?"

Originally, "Sparkle" seemed to fit.  But then the best artwork dictated that "Living The Adventure" is the most appropriate.

And how many tracks?

Originally, 12 was the number of tracks that the band was aiming for.  But then the wrestle for song selection was made so much simpler by adding two extra slots.  So 14 songs is the most appropriate.  AND it means that the album will fit on one side of a C90 cassette - the preferred album length and format when the band started out 20 years ago.

Indeed, Tom and Ad were recalling how the first album, "Dazzler", had its tracklist chosen on the basis of an A and B side.

Bless.

A million gigs, a handful of singles and five albums later, here we are.  For your pleasure.  Why not order a copy for the one you love or download the album for free.
