Product Description

Big hair, big tunes and a big, big boxset. 4cds of b-sides, rarities, remixes and unreleased gems from one of Britain’s most important bands.

The Cure were formed in 1976 and began writing songs almost from the off. They soon built up a staggering set of songs including the classic ‘Boys Don’t Cry’. 27 years later and after several line-up changes this 70 track boxset produced by Robert Smith himself and containing many rare tracks is a pop landmark.

Contained within this mighty set are classic b-sides such as ‘Another Journey By Train’ (from ‘A Forest’), ‘Sugar Girl’ (from ‘Just Like Heaven’), ‘Halo’ (from ‘Friday I’m In Love’) and a startling cover of David Bowie’s ‘Young Americans’. The package also contains a 72 page book filled with rare photos from Smith’s own archives, a track-by-track breakdown from Smith and bassist Simon Gallup and original commentary from the music writer Johnny Black.

The Cure have had nearly three decades at the forefront of pop culture and this boxset is a fitting tribute to their success and a must for any fan.

i think is the best rarietes compilation that ever Robert did to his fans all around the world.. There is singles with high quality level..that never were included in a albun.. but i think that is a very good material for the Cure’s fans!!!

ﾌｫﾚｽﾄでｲｯた｡肩を掴んで揺さぶられるような強い衝撃｡繰り返す甘い囁き｡官能の果てに再び孤独が訪れようと､頑な背中に愛を誓う｡その涙に総てを捧げる｡

あまあまでしょうか。でもやっぱり満点なんです。アルバムにもベストにも入ってない曲がこれだけのレベルなんだから、まことに空恐ろしいアーティストです。「Lament」「Splintered in her head」「Speak my language」「2 late」「Fear of ghosts」などなどなど、いい曲いっぱいです。え？偏ってる？ああ、そうですか。
