Steve plays the whole of The Psychedelic Furs' third album - Forever Now - as part of the 6 Music Album Club.

The album was released in September 1982 and saw the now 4 piece band working with producer Todd Rundgren for the first time. The previous years had seen two of the original members – the saxophonist Duncan Kilburn and the guitarist Roger Morris – abruptly leave the band following the recording of their second album, Talk Talk Talk in 1981. The partnership with Rundgren who was widely known and respected for his work with many artists, including major label successes like Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell – was derided by some sections of the music press as the inevitable "pop sellout". But the band saw this collaboration as a positive development and have gone onto express pride in the results of the partnership.
