Some Velvet Morning

On this day in 1982 (how is that 40 freaking years ago!?) Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard released a single 12″ that included “Some Velvet Morning” (previously recorded by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra) and “I Fell in Love with a Ghost.”Recorded at Riverside Studios, London during a one day session in March 1982.

Engineered by Peter Williams

Personnel: Rowland S.Howard, Mick Harvey, Lydia Lunch, Barry Adamson and Genevieve McGuckin.

“I was very drawn to Rowland; he was the sound of a ghost. The first song we wrote was called I Fell in Love With a Ghost. I felt he wasn’t long for the world even when I first met him. We’re all born dying but in his case there was something so fragile about him. But there was something so magical too, and being quite witchy myself it made a good fit.”
