Description

The Mission's "Butterfly on a Wheel" stands as a masterwork of gothic rock sophistication. Released in 1990, this track showcases Wayne Hussey's commanding vocal presence layered over luminous guitar work and expansive production that builds with deliberate, hypnotic intensity. The song balances theatrical grandeur with intimate emotional depth, transforming personal anguish into an anthemic meditation on beauty and sorrow. Its poetic restraint and atmospheric richness have secured its place as a cornerstone of 80s alternative and gothic rock. This clean vinyl pressing captures the song's dark elegance and sweeping arrangements with pristine fidelity—essential for collectors and devoted followers of The Mission's catalogue.
