The Cure Remasters

Daycare Nation · 08.14.2006, 03:04 PM

Just picked up Kiss Me x 3, Head on the Door, The Top and Blue Sunshine expanded editions....wooo.

Sold back the originals, picked up The Shins, Oh Inverted World and Devendra Banhart Rejoicing in the Hands...

When the next batch of Cure remasters comes out, I probably won't sell back the originals...I like the foldout posters in Disintegration and Wild Mood Swings, and have an emotional attachment to my Wish CD....I don't really care about the Bloodflowers packaging though.

Any other hardcore Cure fans here?

the cure forever greatness....i have a giant poster promoting the new remasters and i don't even own them yet...really a shame...i think the first thing i'll buy (if i don't have enough $ for all that is) is get blue sunshine though...something totally new sounding...steve severin is great

The remasters are great. Pornography is fantastic.

I have the giant poster for the 3IB remaster. By the way, if you have the original CD, don't sell it...the remaster cuts out several seconds of talking and laughter included on the original.

I also have the original pressing of the 3IB remaster that is missing four pages of the booklet--at first it pissed me off but now I kind of like it.

Aside from the music on said album, sentences like these are probably the reason I love it so.

i absolutely cannot STAND The Top. what a boring album. i love the cure, and most of the things they have done.. but the Top is... ughhh.

Daycare Nation · 08.14.2006, 05:14 PM

Caterpillar, Birdmad Girl---> great songs...but yeah it is a fairly unremarkable release. The bonus disc for this has some great songs on it though.

Daycare Nation · 08.14.2006, 05:34 PM

Wow...Glove remaster.

Disc 2 is the whole album with Robert Smith singing it, and the versions are excellent.

Yes, but it's weird that the live tracks sound undoubtedly sped up (why haven't they been speed/pitch corrected ?).

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.15.2006, 01:03 PM

pornography is by far their finest work

doesnt matter if we all die............
sums it up really!

He he.

CHOUT · 08.15.2006, 08:27 PM

Got the first batch of reissues, I'll have to pick these up.

Daycare Nation · 08.15.2006, 10:12 PM

Damn...I just read a review that pointed out that the drum roll at the beginning of The Top was slightly clipped out of the remaster. Now I've had to order the original version again, which I just sold back.

Why can't they pay more attention when they do these things? And why did that reviewer have to point that shit out!? I would never have noticed and now my enjoyment is forever ruined.

ohfuchsia · 08.16.2006, 05:04 AM

Anyone in australia having trouble getting these? I asked at JB hifi and they were absolutley no help.
i love the top, what about give me it? that's the best.

lovesonicevol · 08.16.2006, 04:33 PM

I really want these! I cant wait for the Top.

Blandkind · 08.17.2006, 06:06 AM

Picked them up last friday. Blue sunshine is brilliant. Im listening to disc 2 more though with roberts versions. All the booklets are really well done like the previous 4.

Did you get the 3IB booklet that is missing 4 pages, or the second issue?

I love Pornography and Boys Don't Cry. The Cure is a fine band.
