This is AMAZING. Pettibone in his “I’m also re-mixing Duran Duran phase” – feels like he’s bring ing some of that here. Question: In the INSTRUMENTAL, does anyone else find that pop back at 5:52-ish after the initial fade strange? I’ve heard false fades before, but this feels almost like a mistake.

Thanks Paul 🙂
WOW!!! One of my favourites PF songs. I only had the Shep Pettibone Mix from the CD Compilation “Here Came The Psychedelic Furs: B-Sides & Lost Grooves”, but not the full single ripped from vinyl by the one and only… DjPaulT!!!! Thank you so much Paul!!!

I do remember that Retro Hound 🙂 Have a great weekend 🙂
Awesome, this one and “All that money wants” were my fave PF singles, really appreciated
You’re welcome, gnihtytterp.
Paul, What a week this has been. Feels like old times. ha ha But thanks for putting up another great track from the Psychedelic Furs. Its cool, how they mix atmospheric rock, and dance. Of course Shep Pettibone is always a great mixer, so that helps. I know that earlier fans of the band did not like how commercial this albums was, and the singles also. But I’m glad they made an attempt to sound a little less harsh than their earlier punk days. It was kind of like when Billy Idol came out with Rebel Yell, the same reaction… Read more »
