PETER MURPHY
Holy Smoke
2021 Europe reissue
“Smoke” vinyl

This was an album I first heard out of needing to pick a random title from one of those Columbia House/BMG music clubs as a kid.

“16 Tapes For A Penny” sounded like a good deal.
It was a deal I took disgusting advantage of MANY times as a kid, using multiple mailing addresses and aliases, AND never buying a single thing after that.

Sometimes, i just picked a random thing I’d never heard of to help round out the list, and Holy Smoke was one of those.

I had never heard of Murphy at that point (or Bauhaus for that matter), but I remember instantly liking this album. Particularly “The Sweetest Drop” and “Let Me Love You”.

Great memories of this record, and it still sounds great to me.
