My Psychedelic Furs CDs #10



Here Came The Psychedelic Furs: B-Sides & Lost Grooves (1994) (Sony Music)

In 1994 Columbia released this compilation that's filled with b-sides, remixes, and live songs. I have to admit I wasn't sure about getting this one because I'm not really a fan of dance mixes but recently I decided to get it and I must say the remixes are really good, especially the ones for "Heartbreak Beat" and "Shock". I was also excited of hearing some b-sides that I've never listened to before, such as "Another Edge", "Badman", "Birdland", and "New Dream".

Apparently when B-Sides & Lost Grooves came out The Psychedelic Furs weren't happy with the compilation, with Richard Butler saying, "Those songs weren't lost. They were thrown away. It was like they went through our garbage for it."
