Talk Talk Talk (1981) by The Psychedelic Furs – 12” 33RPM LP.
My wife hates this record. But I can’t help thinking if she’d been born just five years earlier, she’d be all over it.
Because this album really was a moment in time. “Pretty in Pink” wasn’t just a standout track—it was iconic enough to inspire the film of the same name.
I’ve always had a soft spot for The Psychedelic Furs: sharp post-punk, unmistakable vocals, and pure early-80s atmosphere.

@atomicpoet @recordpics I can still picture buying that album with three others, going home and having them all be excellent. Big-time inspiration. I'd see them up close a year or two later. Terrific show.

@atomicpoet @recordpics also, I hope you're still using that reel to reel. 🙂
