Good comp no doubt, but nothing from the final album World Outside, so boo hiss. Plus, this can't come close to the excellent hits/rarities 2 CD set Should God Forget on Sony/Legacy from 1997.

And of course, a second boo hiss to Legacy for yet another incomplete remaster/reissue program with the Furs' back catalogue...

I always dismissed them back in the 80s, but the "Should Got Forget" compilation won me over. I will eventually explore more of their catalog, but for now that comp will have to do. Seemed pretty thorough to me.

Anyone know if this is remastered?

I love that they included "House", which is one of my favorites and never seems to make the comps.

The track got a fair amount of NY radio play when it was released.

:agree:

And for whatever reason it seems to be overlooked in concert, too... I've never heard them perform the song live, and I've been going to Furs shows for 20 years.

Love My Way is one of the greatest of the 80s tunes.
