The thing about Richard Butler's writing is, it is extradordinarily original and colorful, however the underlying topics are quite disturbing. Which might be the result of a disordered upbringing (born on 5 June 1956, in Kingston upon Thames, London, England. His father George Butler was research chemist, a Communist and an atheist. His mother was an artist.)

Keith Forsey, a former percussionist, produced the Furs' fourth album, the first without drummer Vince Ely. Forsey, of course, is famous for having penned the #1 hit song "Don't You (Forget About Me)", from The Breakfast Club, (which was originally intended for Billy Idol, who declined) and was instead recorded by Simple Minds in 1985, going on to top the charts in several countries.
