Several other songs from the album also charted well.

It was the first Australian album to supply five top 30 hit singles "Crazy" (No. 4 in July), "Electric Blue" (co-written by Davies and John Oates of US band Hall & Oates)[8] (No. 1, October), "My Obsession" (No. 12, December), "Man of Colours" (No. 28, February 1988) and "Nothing Too Serious" (No. 29, May 1988).[7] With US chart success for "Crazy", which reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 10 on its Mainstream Rock chart, and "Electric Blue" (No. 7 Hot 100, No. 10 Mainstream), the album Man of Colours reached No. #43 on the Billboard 200.[9][10]
The album won the ARIA Award for Album of the Year and ARIA Award for Highest Selling Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 1988;[11] the associated song "Electric Blue" won 'Most Performed Australasian Popular Work' at the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) Music Awards for its writers Davies and Oates.[12]
Different versions of the album have been released, the initial Australian release by Regular Records (see infobox above right) was as a ten track vinyl LP or as a music cassette or as a twelve track CD with two additional mixes of "Crazy". The US / UK release by Chrysalis Records had a different track order from the Australian LP, and the track lengths for the two big singles ("Crazy" and "Electric Blue") are longer on this version of the album. The 1997 Japanese CD version released by For Life Records had two different tracks added. In 2002, Warner Music Australia re-released Man of Colours, with Davies and Ryan Scott digitally remastering, including five bonus tracks.[6] In Australia, the album was also offered on three limited edition coloured vinyl pressings, which were the colours of the flowers that the human figure on the cover was holding.
Legendary Aussie outfit Icehouse may be getting a bit long in the tooth, but they still have lust for life left in them to spare, as the veteran band has proved with their announcement of an impending 2015-16 national tour, as well as their first-ever live album release.
And what wise choices those two are for expansion: both albums are the most successful of Icehouse's work in their native land, reaching No. 3 and No. 1, respectively, on the Australian charts. Two of the band's biggest hits come from each album as well; there's 1982's "Great Southern Land," a beloved tribute to the band's native country, and 1987's "Electric Blue," co-written with John Oates and not only a chart-topping single in Australia but a Top 10 hit in America, the band's biggest song on those shores.
I'm happy to see these albums being reissued, but I sort of wish the Primitive Man and Man of Colours sets had an additional CD of live tracks or remixes like the Flowers reissue did. The Primitive Man DVD doesn't even have a live take of "Great Southern Land" on it!

S&S Presents\r\nSAMMY ADAMSThe Senioritis TourWith Special GuestCris Cab\r\nhttp:\/\/www.sammyadamsmusic.com\/\r\nBoston's Sammy Adams caused quite a stir in 2010 when his debut album topped the online hip-hop charts the week of its release. Samuel Adams Wisner was a senior at Trinity College in Hartford when he decided to inject some attitude into Asher Roth's hit "I Love College." With the results posted online under the name Sam Adams, his answer song, "I Hate College," made the rapper an Internet star in 2009. On the strength of his independently released album "Boston's Boy," and mixtapes like "Party Records" and "Into the Wild," Sammy built through touring colleges and clubs across the country, and signed with RCA Records in 2012. Since then, the singer, songwriter, and producer has been in the studio with such collaborators as Pharrell Williams, Ryan Tedder, Mike Posner, Bei Maejor, Supa Dups, Afrojack, Matty Trump, and Vinylz, and others, working on his debut album. "Pharrell gave me the best advice about making an album," Adams says. "He said, 'Just be in the moment with your songs because if you try to write a song to be a hit two months from now, the culture can change.' I'm really just trying to be true to myself and carve out my own lane. That's what all my favorite artists have done." It's with that joy and energy that Adams approaches his career as a pop artist. "I want to make music that's universal, that anyone can relate to," he says. "I've had my biggest success so far with pop songs and it has inspired me to write super-catchy hooks that people can jump up and down to. It feels authentic to where I am creatively at this point and I'm excited to continue to explore and play with this kind of music."\r\n ","currency":"USD"}; // (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m)i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r])(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); ga('create', 'UA-41980729-2', name: "main"); $(function() ga(function() if(window['GoogleAnalyticsPageViewsSent']) return; var allTrackers = ga.getAll(); for(var i in allTrackers) try allTrackers[i].require('displayfeatures'); catch(err) try allTrackers[i].send('pageview'); catch(err) try if (allTrackers[i].get('name') == 'main') allTrackers[i].set('dimension1',"Concert"); allTrackers[i].set('dimension2',"4306950"); allTrackers[i].set('dimension3',"11059"); allTrackers[i].set('dimension4',"167"); catch(err) window['GoogleAnalyticsPageViewsSent'] = 1; ); ); var closeText = 'Close'; !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script','//connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');fbq('init', '275425976201017');fbq('track', 'PageView');window.parent.postMessage( "type":"analytics-event","provider":"facebook","data":"action":"track","type":"PageView", "*");fbq('track', 'ViewContent', content_type: 'product', eventref: "", content_ids: ["4306950"]);window.parent.postMessage( "type":"analytics-event","provider":"facebook","data":"action":"track","type":"ViewContent","data":"content_type":"product","eventref":"","content_ids":["4306950"], "*");ga('create', 'UA-132215467-1', 'name': 'client', 'allowLinker': true);var ga_dectorator = function(e) var me = this; var protocol = new RegExp('^https?://','i'); if (me && me.href && protocol.test(me.href)) // Ensure this is a link ga(function() // Only if ga is loaded. window.linker = window.linker ); ;$ && $(function() $('.listing_desc a').mousedown(ga_dectorator).keydown(ga_dectorator);); window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer []; function gtag()dataLayer.push(arguments); gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'AW-978733074'); var TSLUG_DISMISS = "Dismiss"; var isEmbed = window.parent.length != 0; var screenWidth = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth 0) - 100; var runOptions = maxWidth: screenWidth, maxHeight: '100%', fitViewport: true, closeText: closeText + ': x' ; var runModal = new $.Modal('mymodal', runOptions); var myModal = // For hidden objects that require cloning inlineClone : function (obj, callback) options = afterOpen: function() callback && callback(); runModal.open(obj.clone().show(), options); return false; , inline: function (obj, callback) options = afterOpen: function() callback && callback(); runModal.open(obj, options); return false; , iframe: function (obj, callback) , close : function () runModal.close(true); , refresh : function () runModal.refresh() var updateParentHeight = function() window.parent.postMessage($('body').outerHeight(true), '*'); ; $(window).on('load', function() updateParentHeight(); ); $(function() if (isEmbed) $('body').addClass('embed'); $('.desktop').attr('target', '_blank'); updateParentHeight(); //so listing colorboxes are an option if($.colorbox) $('.listing_desc a.colorbox').colorbox(iframe:true,width:'75%',height:'600px'); ); $(function() // Confirm Request to Cancel Tickets $(document).on('click', '#continue_request', function () $('#loading').show(); $('#cancel_reservation_form').submit(); return false; ); // Cancel Request to Cancel Tickets $(document).on('click', '#cancel_request', function () // myModal.close(); if ($.colorbox) $.colorbox.close(); return false; ); if($('#warn_about_clearing').length) // var warn_about_clearing = $('#warn_about_clearing').detach().show(); var warn_about_clearing = $('#warn_about_clearing'); // Cancel Request Btn // $('.cancel_res, #cancel_reservation').click(function(ev) // ev.preventDefault(); // myModal.inline(warn_about_clearing); // return false; // ); if ($.colorbox) $('.cancel_res, #cancel_reservation').colorbox( inline: true, href: '#warn_about_clearing' ); ); Go Back TheComplex header padding-top: 0px; div.flash-zone margin-top: 50px; .customer-care display: block; background: yellow; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.2); text-align: center; padding: 7px 20px; opacity: 0.7; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: bold; This order is being recorded as being placed by a ShowClix representative .
