Psychadelic Furs - Promo Cassette Question/Req

Postby Sundayguy » Fri Aug 07, 2015 3:01 pm

Many years ago I remember having this cassette tape by the Furs.
I am NOT sure about the origin, I THINK it came along as a free "promo" item
along with either a 45 single, or LP I purchased, but it also may have been just a promo
give-away at a local record shop.
The cassette tape is long gone, and the thought about it just crossed my mind
out of the blue, so I'm wondering if anyone else remembers that tape, or if they
have/had it, or MP3s of it, or even if there was anything not already released somewhere
else? If it helps, this was in the midwest, in the USA. Just the tape, no case or insert.
I think (again, not sure) it had 4 tracks, one being "We Love You" and maybe
"President Gas" and whatever else, perhaps live tracks. There MAY have also been
a 2nd cassette, but I know I didn't have/get the 2nd one, which had other tracks on it.
If anyone has the track list, and could point out if they were "standard" releases or
alternate versions, etc. I'd really appreciate it. MP3s of the versions on that tape welcome too.
Of course, if they were regular release versions, please don't post them, OOP then yes.
Thanks to all, in advance! :wink:

One release was "Heartbreak Beat" 7" + Casssette: http://www.discogs.com/Psychedelic-Furs ... se/1912871
The other was "Angels Don't Dry" 7" + Cassette: "We Love You", "Pretty In Pink" and "Love My Way"
I believe all of these are album tracks.
All the best,

Thanks eighties!

I'm sure the one I had was the one with the Angels Don't Cry single,
although I really don't remember buying the single. Looking at the discogs link
I probably passed on the Heartbreak Beat single because all the tracks are clips,
though I'm sure, even back then, I liked Heartbreak Beat much better than Angels.

Much appreciated
