Description
Peter Murphy – The Last And Only Star – Gold Vinyl Record
10 Rarities including remixes, edits and b-sides, pressed on gold vinyl
Peter Murphy’s The Last And Only Star is a beautifully curated rarities collection that shines a light into the side rooms of his classic Beggars Banquet era—an era where his solo work helped define the sleek, dramatic edge of post-punk and gothic rock. Pressed on striking gold vinyl, this set gathers ten sought-after versions, edits, and mixes that sit just outside the main album canon, offering a fresh way to experience familiar material with different lighting, different shadows, and often a harder, more immediate pulse. It’s the sound of Murphy’s unmistakable voice—commanding, theatrical, intimate—set against alternative takes that emphasize the dancefloor, the dreamscape, or the rawer, more direct band energy.
The selection moves between remixes and single edits that sharpen the hooks, and rarer cuts that deepen the atmosphere, creating a listening experience that flows like a nocturnal companion to the studio albums. You’ll hear songs in forms that feel more urgent and kinetic, alongside pieces that linger and unfold with extra space and texture—proof of how much his material could flex without losing its identity. With tracks like “Final Solution” in a club mix, the original version of “The Light Pours Out Of Me,” and alternate edits of “Tale Of The Tongue” and “A Strange Kind Of Love,” the collection balances fan-favorite staples with gems that reward repeat listening. For collectors, it’s an essential archive piece; for listeners building a Peter Murphy shelf, it’s a vivid supplement that reveals new angles on one of alternative music’s most iconic voices.
