About The Record:

Escapade, by Tim Finn, marked a significant shift from his work with Split Enz, showcasing a more rhythm-based pop sound that achieved commercial success in Australia and New Zealand. The album peaked at No. 1 in New Zealand and No. 8 in Australia, earning the 1983 Countdown Australian Music Award for Best Australian Album. Its lead single, Fraction Too Much Friction, became a major hit, reaching the top 10 in both countries and gaining popularity in Europe, particularly in Holland where it hit No. 2. Other notable singles include Made My Day and Staring at the Embers, with fan favorites like In a Minor Key also contributing to its acclaim.
