Post 782 - Adrian Campbell - The Collection

 

Adrian Campbell, a session vocalist has recorded and arranged backing vocals in countless albums in the land of Oz. Around 1976 he was the lead singer of Avalanche whose debut S/T album had moderate success, in 1980 Australia's commercial radio stations staged a high-profile campaign to promote radio listening. "Listen To The Radio" (BA 222673) this catchy jingle was written by Peter Best. There were two versions recorded by Adrian Campbell, and a more mellow one by Paul McKay. The jingles, in various forms, were played on Aussie commercial radio stations, Adrian's version was released for purchase by the general public. It failed to chart; the flipside was Paul McKay's "Listen To The Mellow Radio". In 1981 he formed Ada's Persuaders and released the single "Let The Girl Dance" (FMS 2106) on Full Moon Records. In 1985 came the single "You Are My Melbourne" with Lisa Edwards, from '86 he formed the funky synth-pop band Adrian's Wall which released four singles and the "Caught In The Web" LP for Zoom Records.
