Album Notes
The Psychadelic Furs: Richard Butler (vocals); John Ashton, Richard Fortus (guitar); Tim Butler (bass); Earl Harvin (drums).
Compilation producer: Richard Fortus.
Recorded live at the House Of Blues, Los Angeles, California in 2001. Includes liner notes by Tony Fletcher.
One of the coolest bands to emerge from the '80s UK new wave world, the Psychedelic Furs combined a gloriously trashy guitar sound with clever production, arch, Bowie-influenced melodicism and of course Richard Butler's Dylan-with-a-sore-throat vocals and lyrics. After the dissolution of Butler's fine post-Furs band Love Spit Love, the reconstituted Furs re-enter the recording fray with the stunning live album, which finds the singer still accompanied by his bass-playing brother Tim and original guitarist John Ashton. As indicated by the title, this disc finds the band rampaging through its best-loved tunes, from the slinky "The Ghost in You" to the stately "Sister Europe" and all-out rocker "Into You Like a Train." Ashton's guitar synthesizer does an amazing job of making up for the sax and keyboard parts from the studio versions, and the combination of carefully organized guitar din and elegantly debauched vocals is spot on. An impressive new track augurs well for the future, too. Welcome back, Furs!
