The Psychedelic Furs
Forever Now
A piece of NEW WAVE Perfection & Rock 'n' Roll History
Super RARE UK Import Vinyl
Original Test Pressing
Includes Production Info Sheet!
Vocalist Richard Butler writes to his strengths on Forever Now. Though the Furs had lost two key members, the others' increased sophistication — shored up by wisely chosen session help (somber cello, horns, Flo & Eddie) — is orchestrated by Todd Rundgren in a major production coup, best exemplified by the brilliant single, "Love My Way" and the sweetly woozy "Sleep Comes Down." The song, "Love My Way" has appeared in several movies and video games including Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, The Wedding Singer, Valley Girl, and as downloadable content for the Rock Band series.
UK Song Versions Differ from US Versions and are in Different Order
FAQ What's a Test Pressing and Why Are They Rare (or Why They Ugly)?
Test Pressings are the first vinyl discs made at the factory. They are produced in small quantities (usually under 5 copies) to evaluate the quality of the disc before mass production begins. Therefore they have no artwork or labels. Sometimes they have an insert for reference. This one is far rarer for having the original production sheet.
