"Love's Great Adventure" is a stand-alone single released by Ultravox on the 12th October 1984, peaking at #12 in the UK charts. The style of this single is different from any of their preceding Lament singles, aiming for a more lightweight, pop-oriented approach.
The music video features the band members in a humorous parody of Indiana Jones, with Midge Ure being chased across deserts and forests by a ruthless treasure hunter. Midge Ure stated in his autobiography, If I Was, that the aim of the single and it's video was to promote Ultravox as having a sense of humour, away from the seriousness of their previous releases.
The song was not released on a studio album, instead appearing on their 1984 compilation album The Collection.
