All of This and Nothing
1988 compilation album by The Psychedelic Furs
All of This and Nothing is the first compilation album by the English rock band the Psychedelic Furs, released in the U.K. August 1, 1988 by Columbia Records. The album has 14 songs, including one — "All That Money Wants" — recorded specifically for the collection.
Critical reception
AllMusic writer Michael Sutton said the album "effectively summarizes the Psychedelic Furs' evolution from a left-of-center British rock band to a stylish alternative pop act".
A Rolling Stone review was critical of the album for omitting too many of the band's early singles, such as "Run and Run" and "Into You Like a Train", though it called All of This and Nothing their best album to include "The Ghost in You" and "Heaven".

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “All of This and Nothing” as 1988 compilation album by The Psychedelic Furs. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1988 compilation album by The Psychedelic Furs. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4730051. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1988.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
