You can now hear clips of all three new remasters on the Rhino website.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD WHY CAN'T IT BE THE 26TH NOW

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Hearing even clips early would ruin the anticipation. I will await the day.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Wise words Ned. I shall do the same. Although, if Dan has succumbed to temptation, I urge him to share his impressions.

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:45 (nineteen years ago) link

My impression: Pornography really is the greatest thing they've ever done.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah come on, wait until you hear those "Strange Attraction" home demos...

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually he's waiting on the "Mint Car" a capella home demos.

ATTENTION all kindred spirits - AWWW-YEAAAAH:

From the Steve Severin Forum (April 14th 2005) :

"Biggest and best news of the week is that after many, many years I have started talking to Robert Smith about the GLOVE re-mastering. We had a
lovely, long catch-up chat on the phone on Saturday and I'm overjoyed to say that Robert is going to be totally involved in getting the best possible release together. I have suggested that BLUE SUNSHINE falls into the CURE's timeline of reissues as opposed to the BANSHEES and Robert is really happy about that plan. In plain terms as FAITH/17 SECONDS/PORNOGRAPHY are due out at the end of this month - BLUE SUNSHINE
is next!!!!! In the Banshees timeline it would be probably a year away so I'm very excited that we will have the album out in the next 6 months. Robert is currently ploughing through his tapes and between us we think we have enough interesting stuff to make BLUE SUNSHINE a double disc deluxe edition. Universal are up for it too.

We plan to meet up soon over a flagon of cider and go through everything including all the bits of memorabilia that I have kept that will be nice to incorporate into the new artwork. It's going to be a blast! Can't wait......"

yay!

Excellent. I've carefully held onto my Rough Trade reissue from 1990 and a double disc version would be the bee's knees.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah I also have the Rough Trade version. Is it still in print?

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 12:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Dunno, but I've got the Rough Trade version still too.
Have a vinyl copy of the original too that I tracked down in my headlong curefan days of 1987

― rentboy (rentboy), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 12:17 (nineteen years ago) link

What a classic album, 'Mr Alphabet Man', 'Perfect Murder'... They used to play those at the goth club in my teenage years...

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

OH my GOD

― The Ghost of Total Fucking Swoon (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 13:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I was wondering when the Pope would give this news his blessing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Out tomorrow! I'm verrry excited!

― mzui (mzui), Sunday, 24 April 2005 10:09 (nineteen years ago) link

SO FUCKING HAPPY GIVE ME MY POSTER

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 24 April 2005 11:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, they're out Tuesday here in the States...sadly, I won't be able to acquire any of them for another three weeks due to being poor.

― Ian Riese-Moraine has a grenade, that pineapple's not just a toy! (Eastern Mantr, Sunday, 24 April 2005 13:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Err... Apparently they've been pushed back to the 5th of May...

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Sunday, 24 April 2005 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I SLAY YOU IF THIS IS TRUE (cause I always blame the messenger).

Looks like America gets the discs before Europe by a week. HA!

Don't worry, we won't lord it over you too much. HEE HEE HEE.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 24 April 2005 16:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey Ned, you never mailed me back.

― mzui (mzui), Sunday, 24 April 2005 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Hm! I apologize if I did not do that, I dimly remember an exchange about something. E-mail me again.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 24 April 2005 16:36 (nineteen years ago) link

TOMORROW TOMORROW I LOVE YA TOMORROW...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 00:01 (nineteen years ago) link

are the versions of forever and all mine on these discs the same as the ones which are on the curiosity cassette? if they are, i am not sure that cd would improve the quality so much - being that those recordings seem to be so crappy. i like those songs a lot though. maybe they did some studio magic to them ?

― ronny longjohns (ronny longjohns), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 00:38 (nineteen years ago) link

We'll find out soon enough...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 00:39 (nineteen years ago) link

"All Mine" is from 'Curiosity.' "Forever" is previously unreleased, "live somewhere/summer 81."

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 00:47 (nineteen years ago) link

i see. Curiosity version says paris 84. guess someone can report tomorrow

― ronny longjohns (ronny longjohns), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 03:17 (nineteen years ago) link

ok, seems these babies are out in Europe after all. In a mere couple of hours, I shall be basking in the glow of them Carnage Visors!

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm thinking about buying "faith" as it is my favourite cure album

― Aerodynamic (Aerodynamic), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:30 (nineteen years ago) link

As well you should.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:31 (nineteen years ago) link

i think i'll first get Porn and Faith and wait a bit for 17S (the extras don't seem as crucial)

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:52 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost

No, it actually says "somewhere."

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:58 (nineteen years ago) link

this is great news. i was so in love with the glove man.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 15:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I am getting all three. I CARE NOT.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 15:01 (nineteen years ago) link

These reissues are great indeed. "Carnage Visors" is fucking great.. as is the Cult Hero stuff.

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:32 (nineteen years ago) link

The Cult Hero stuff is the shit!

I DIG YOU
YOU DIG ME
WE DIG EACH OTHER
THAT'S GROOVY, BABY! OH YEAH!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:32 (nineteen years ago) link

(and I'm getting all three too, because I like big colorful phat packaging... the "evaluation" copies I have -- which are just double-CD jewel cases with no color aside from the front -- will probably go back to the originator, if he wants them.)

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I am completely fucking stoked about having "Carnage Visors" on an official CD release. Mark my words, I will be making sweet sweet love to the tune of that lovely lovely guitar before the week is out.

― The Ghost of TMI (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:37 (nineteen years ago) link

iewww...

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:42 (nineteen years ago) link

He is an honest and passionate man, our Mr. Dan.

I have to wait a few hours here before I can go to the Best Buy. Can I survive? NYURGH. (I am killing time with that Mick Mercer double CD Gothic Rock thing on Cleopatra/Jungle while I do. Ah, Theatre of Hate.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:43 (nineteen years ago) link

HAND ME THE VISORS!

</PERV>

life is so unfair

*wail*

― mzui (mzui), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago) link

THIS IS HERESY!!

Just finished reading the liner notes and I have to say they could have made more of an effort, e.g. a track by track rundown would have been appreciated.

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:47 (nineteen years ago) link

But that was the case with 31B being reissued so I'm not expecting much. It's annoying but hell, so long as I get the music...

life is so unfair

3IB was released over there first, so this is payoff.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:48 (nineteen years ago) link

mzui - fret not, these ARE out in Europe. I just got them from a big retail chain.
