Funland is the third and final studio album by the English musician Bram Tchaikovsky, released in 1981.[1][2] It peaked at No. 158 on the Billboard 200.[3] "Shall We Dance?" was the first single.[4] Tchaikovsky supported the album with a North American tour.[5] Disappointed by Funland's poor commercial performance, he decided to retire from the music industry.[6]
Recorded at Rockfield Studios in early 1981, the album was produced by Nick Garvey, who also wrote "Soul Surrender" and played guitar and piano.[7][8] Tchaikovsky was backed by Richard Itchington on bass, Derek Ballard on drums, Denis Forbes on guitar, Bernie Clark on keyboards, and Lew Soloff on trumpet.[8] "Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache" is a cover of the song made famous by Johnny Johnson.[4] "Miracle Cure" was written in part to mock the Stray Cats.[9]
