Y!"All of This and Nothing."Initially going by "RKO", and then "Radio" for a short time, they eventually settled on their signiture name, The Psychedelic Furs.And even tho the US version of the album was resequenced, it failed to have as strong a commercial impact.In the UK the album was a solid hit and spun off two charting singles, "Dumb Waiters" and the original version of "Pretty In Pink".By this time the band had become a staple on US college and modern rock stations.They were also building mainstream success, though they would have more impact on future musicians than they ever did in the marketplace.It was also used as the title track for the 1986 John Huges movie of the same title.The Psychedelic Furs in 2000, and released a live album called, "Beautiful Chaos: Greatest Hits Live", which also featured a new studio recorded, "Alive (For Once In My Lifetime)".DVD version of the performance included live versions ofthat song and three other previously unreleased tracks, "Anodyne (Better Days", "Cigarette" and "Wrong Train".We hope you enjoy the site!We'll put a link to it on our page.The Psychedelic Furs are one of my favorite bands."Urgent Security Alert","Warning: You are submitting information to an outside site.Do you wish to continue your form submission?"Id + " Link: " + targetLink. |
