Good Fortune is the ninth album by British pop group Brotherhood of Man. The album was recorded on manager Tony Hiller's label, Dazzle Records in 1980, but went unreleased in the UK. The album did get a release however in Australia. [1]
Today the album is virtually impossible to get hold of and is considered to be the 'holy grail' among fans.
The album featured the singles "Honey Don't Throw Our Love Away" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Track "Sugar Mouse" was released as a single in Holland.
Album track "Heartbreaker" was later re-used as a track on the group's 1983 album, "Lightning Flash" (as well as a 1982 B-Side).
The unusual album cover (for many years unseen by most European fans) depicts the group apparently being held hostage by a robot - possibly in homage to the track "Andrea Android". Another photo session at the time saw the group being menaced by a toy mouse - a possible reference to the "Sugar Mouse" track.
