Lions and Tigers and Bears


Lions and Tigers and Bears is the fourth album by rock band The Adventures, released in 1993.
The album contained the minor hit "Raining All Over the World", signalling the end of their chart activity. The follow-up single "Monday Monday" stalled outside the official UK top 75 at #83. The album title was adopted by the band at the suggestion of Pat and Eileen Gribben's daughter.
Like the group's previous album, Trading Secrets with the Moon, the album was panned by critics, with Allmusic also giving it 1.5 out of 5 stars. The album failed to chart and to date remains the group's last studio release.
The album was remastered and reissued in May 2011 by Cherry Red Records, who had previously re-released the band's debut album Theodore and Friends in July 2009. This release includes four bonus tracks, which were all B-Sides to the two tracks released as singles.
