Released in March 1987 on Polydor and recorded and mixed at Abbey Road, the record turns songs by Kraftwerk, The Doors, Iggy Pop, John Cale, Roxy Music, Television, and even a Disney standard into brooding, orchestral post-punk, all anchored by Siouxsie Sioux's icy, commanding vocal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe song choices alone reveal how deliberately the band approached the project. Kraftwerk's \"Hall of Mirrors\" becomes something genuinely eerie in the Banshees' hands, so much so that Ralf Hütter himself called their version extraordinary, while Iggy Pop praised Siouxsie's rendition of \"The Passenger\" for a vocal touch he wished he'd thought of himself. \"This Wheel's on Fire,\" originally recorded by Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger, and the Trinity, became the album's lead single and climbed to number 14 on the UK charts, while \"Trust in Me,\" lifted from The Jungle Book, shows just how far the band was willing to stretch the concept without breaking their own aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eRather than treating these songs as simple homages, the Banshees rebuild each one from the ground up, using the covers format to explore textures and arrangements they hadn't fully pursued on their original material. It stands as a genuinely strange, singular detour in the band's catalog, one that reveals just how much range and reinvention was possible within their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis 180-gram vinyl edition is the way to hear that experiment in full.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47419803467938,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/LDS28642___98179.jpg?v=1783641998","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/es\/products\/siouxsie-the-banshees-through-the-looking-glass","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
