“Run and Run” by The Psychedelic Furs

"Run and Run" turns up on Forever Now, the third Psychedelic Furs album, cut in the spring of 1982 and issued by Columbia/CBS that September. The band had come through a rough stretch of lineup changes that left them a four-piece instead of six, and they handed the controls to Todd Rundgren for the first time; he produced, engineered with Chris Andersen and played keyboards too.

You can tell Rundgren was in the room. Richard Butler sings over John Ashton's guitar, Tim Butler's bass and Vince Ely's drums and percussion, but around them come horns from Donn Adams and Gary Windo, a cello from Ann Sheldon and backing vocals by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. The band shares the writing and arranging credit. It's a group getting smaller on paper and bigger on record.
