The Psychedelic Furs - Beautiful Chaos (Revised Edition)

By Dave Thompson

Newly revised for the band's 40th anniversary, a new 2017 edition of the ultimate story of the ultimate post-punk band. Combining the chaos and vocal rasp of the Sex Pistols with a Bowie-esque glamour, the Psychedelic Furs hit the big time in the U.S. when John Hughes wrote a movie based on their early single "Pretty in Pink." Poised to join U2 and Simple Minds in the premier league, they withdrew behind their shades, remaining a cult act, but one with a hugely devoted following.

Customer Reviews

Even better than the memories!

The Psychedelic Furs were the soundtrack for an entire generation of 80s kids, but who remembers them today? Dave Thompson does, and he tells their story with a style and flair that makes you wish you could turn the clock back, and enjoy the whole era all over again. Almost all the old band members are interviewed, all the records are discussed at length, and the book rockets along so fast that you suddenly realize it's 3 in the morning, and you have work tomorow. But who cares? Because it's time to listen to "Mirror Moves" again.
