Trading Secrets with the Moon is the third studio album by rock band The Adventures, released in 1989.
It failed to capitalise on the previous album's success and contained no hit singles. The album itself reached #64 on the UK Albums Chart and #137 on the Australian Albums chart.
Unlike the band's previous releases, Theodore and Friends and The Sea of Love, the album was panned by critics, with AllMusic giving the album a retrospective 1.5 stars out of 5.
