The Pursuit of Happiness, Love Junk, 1988 on Chrysalis

Debut full length from Canada’s The Pursuit of Happiness, with their big hit “I’m an Adult Now.” Produced by Todd Rundgren and recorded at Utopia in the Hudson Valley.

I love their lyrics in particular – “Consciousness Raising as a Social Tool” and “I’m an Adult Now” resonated even when I was 18 but resonate even more as a 50+ year old. Must have 80s record.

My version—via Worcester Record Riot—is a Carrollton GA pressing on the “white with purple butterfly” labels. It’s got some minor warping but plays well.

Fediverse reactions
