I'm not trying to be contrary on purpose, but I think I prefer the alternate rarities to the ones on the actual disc and Dallas to this Entreat Plus mix.

while we wait for Wish, found this incredible piece about the Cure.
http://www.threeimaginarygirls.com/story/2011mar/looking-back-cure-1991
Relating this to The Cure, they were still riding high on the unanticipated success of Disintegration and looking towards the future with an optimistic perspective. They had everything in their favor at this point...
It is a shame, really, because in early 1991, The Cure were well on their way to making a record that was going to be better than Disintegration. If these songs were not tampered with, Wish could have easily topped its predecessor. They likely chose to change directions because of the arrival of grunge and perhaps a desire to shed their gloomy, Goth image a bit - but this decision was truly tragic. If there is some early version of the record out there, I would love to hear it. The "Wendy Time" demo hints at what could have been, while the instrumental version of "The Big Hand" is shimmeringly beautiful. I hope there's a vocal version of this somewhere in the vaults, and the "Wendy Time" demo reminds me that this band, at that point in time, was merely untouchable.
― World Series champion San Francisco Giants (Bee OK), Sunday, 13 March 2011 07:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Good article, thanks Bee OK. The change in Wendy Time from demo to album is remarkable.

Interesting. I followed a lot of the links in that article, and I can see why they band sped things up or made the songs more aggressive. Most of the "Wish" tracks benefit from the decision, especially "Cut," IMO. Anyway, looking at clips lead me to this live 1979 version of "A Forest," which is likely, er, "speeded" up, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SKSL5d7tSY&feature=related
Takes a while for the band to show up.

it is a shame, really, because in early 2011, threeimaginarygirls.com was well on its way to writing an article that didn't assume everyone believes Disintegration is better than Wish. if this article was not so presumptive, it could have easily said some people prefer Wish to Disintegration.
(i can't say it's *better*, hard to say objectively... Disintegration is certainly more of a piece, etc. but i play Wish more often, and that has to mean something... just sayin')
― thank you ilxor for starting this much needed thread (ilxor), Sunday, 13 March 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link
Of course people can't "objectively" say that but if you're subjectively placing Wish above or beside Disintegration you're in something of a minority.

took me a while to notice this but "Sadicic" on The Top reiussue is an embryo of "Prayers of Rain". Still can't place that recurring guitar riff in that song.

I just want Mixed Up reissued in a vinyl box with the actual 12" mixes that matter like Primary added to the rest of the original tracklist.

The whole reissue campaign started off so well, I hoped we would be able to march right through the catalog and carch up. But then I remembered that this is The Cure.

This becomes even more apparent if you listen to the 'Prayers for Rain' early versions.

So yeah I just listened to The Glove for the first time ever.
1. Holy fuck2. Help3. A Blues in Drag and Orgy are like what I always wish electronic film scores sounded like4. This is almost like having another album by my beloved therapy-damaged 80s artpop losers The Fibonaccis5. Certain tracks on this prefigure the sound of The Knife's Silent Shout to an extent I have heard nowhere else, is it just me?6. Yes

The sound of Robert Smith's guitar on Blue Sunshine is just about one of my favorite things ever.

I'll cut the cryptic crap soon, certainly before Christmas, but wanted to hint a little bit about next year's plans on The Cure project because I am excited!

Earlier:
Being the kind-hearted person I am, I can confirm one of my upcoming projects next year is with The Cure with whom I have worked since 1981. This will be with the full participation of Robert. Updates when I can, but suffice to say it will be a 40th anniversary project.— Tim Pope (@timpopedirector) December 1, 2017

Just listened to an interview with Tim Pope on Adam Buxton's podcast the other day. Buxton introduced the podcast with a disclaimer that Tim was not on drugs during the taping and something to the effect of "he is just a very animated man by nature". Disappointingly, they didn't discuss the Cure much, if at all.
― how's life, Sunday, 3 December 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
They need to do Mixed Up with all the 12" mixes (Primary!) and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they packaged together the B-Sides from the Standing On A Beach Cassette (heck, toss on the 87-90 b-sides too).
