Review:

The Cure are to most people one of the three first “gothic bands”. (which also includes Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Robert Smith has been the lead singer the whole while that the band has been in existence. There are many imports of Cure releases that we didn’t get the pleasure of in the states.
I don’t remember when I first heard the Cure, (which dance club in Seattle) But I do remember “Knowing” that they were soon happily included into everyone's favorites among the Joy Divisions and Bauhaus. Here was a “punk music” with a fashion sense with no self-destructive end in sight. If you can’t find the import albums that you desire on ebay or amazon then this is a pretty great “all-in-one” compilation of the Cures most common hits.
You can see from the above track listings, this is a pretty comprehensive collection of the Cure’s “hits.” The sound quality is really top notch. I only wish they had included the song lyrics in the booklet and/or included the b-sides, as they did with the tape version.
If you are having problems tracking down the Cure’s earlier vinyl or old releases then this is a great overall collection. I love that they included A Forest and Primary on this album. This CD gives a nice lesson in just how punky the Cure started out, and how moody they could be without changing the “sound” of the Cure.
