Legacy

Legacy is Sony Music Entertainment's catalog and reissue label. It was introduced by Columbia Records in 1960 for historical recordings. In 1990, CBS Records relaunched Legacy for reissues and repackaged releases. Since then, it has been used by CBS's successors. The label, sometimes indicated as "Legacy Recordings," is known for its extensive collection of *historical recordings* and *reissued albums*. With a focus on preserving the rich musical heritage of various artists and performers, Legacy offers music enthusiasts an opportunity to explore timeless classics and rediscover iconic sounds from the past.

The Psychedelic Furs are a UK post-punk band formed in 1977 by brothers Tim Butler and Richard Butler. They have released eight studio albums to date, working with renowned producers such as Steve Lillywhite, Todd Rundgren, Keith Forsey, Chris Kimsey, David M. Allen, and Stephen Street.

One of their most notable songs is "Pretty In Pink," which was chosen by director John Hughes as the title track for his 1986 teen movie. The re-made version of the song became their biggest hit at that time. Other highlights from their catalogue include "Love My Way," "Sister Europe," and their biggest US hit "Heartbreak Beat."

In 1991, the band went on hiatus while Richard Butler and Tim Butler formed a new group called Love Spit Love. During this time, Richard Butler also released a self-titled solo album in 1996. The Psychedelic Furs reunited in 2000 for a live album release and have been actively touring since then. Their latest studio album was released in 2020, marking their first release since 1991.

Forever Now was the last great moment in the Furs' early career. If you think the presence of Todd Rundgren behind the board means an increased focus on the band's already developing pop sensibilities, you're right on the money. the furs had yet to descend to the radio-ready depths that would find them indistinguishable from other '80s Britpoppers. Instead, the pop sheen of Forever Now is a breath of fresh air - a sign of growth, not decline. The slinky keyboards of Love My Way and the strings of Sleep Comes Down are welcome additions to the band's sonic palette, and for the first time, the Psychedelic Furs live up to their name, with a pronounced Beatles influence. The glories of Talk Talk Talk are given a new coat of paint, and the change is a positive one.
