Additional informationCrowded House co-founder Tim Finn's 1983 solo debut ESCAPADE spearheaded the artist's decision to become a solo artist later in his career. Composer: Tim Finn. Personnel: Tim Finn (vocals, piano); Ricky Fataar (vocals, keyboards, drums, snare drum, percussion, background vocals); Venetta Fields (vocals, background vocals); Mark Moffatt (guitar); Vince Gill (mandolin); Wilbur Wilde, Joe Camilleri (saxophone); Peter Cross (trumpet); Richard Tee (piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Amanda Vincent, Sam McNally (synthesizer); Doug Lacey (steel drum). Recording information: Festival Studios, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Photographer: Grant Williams. Unknown Contributor Role: Vince Gill. Following Split Enz's Time & Tide, Tim Finn took his first break from the band with Escapade, a collection of light pop songs, some of which dated back to the late '70s but never seemed to quite fit in the Enz format. A flawed though fun album, Escapade managed several hits in Australasia and Europe and revealed a considerably brighter, more mainstream aspect to Finn's writing. And while the album was successful and a satisfying diversion, it unquestionably served to derail the forward momentum of Split Enz and led to Finn's leaving the band the following year. ~ Chris Woodstra
