Going to listen to these one a night. 17 Seconds sounds really grand with this remaster, I must say. Into the bonus disc now -- hearing the Cult Hero songs with such crispness is quite a treat.

If I were to buy one of the three albums first, I'd go for Seventeen Seconds simply because it's, umm, my favourite Cure album; but the extras don't look all that. Details please, and a compare-and-contrast would also be handy!

I've been enjoying all the liner note info with stuff I'd either missed or never knew, such as that info. For instance, Smith says the reason why "The Final Sound" segues into "A Forest" that way is because while it was supposed to be a long instrumental, the tape ran out and Mike Hedges didn't tell them that because they were on such a tight budget they couldn't afford an extra one! Sounds great of course, I love happy accidents.

it seems to me that the big ilm cure heads really dig these so far...i still have to ask, are the liner notes, remastering, and extra material really worth it?

Nope -- they've said since the start that Join the Dots would not be replicated on the reissues and so far that's true. I am wondering how they'll handle the Japanese Whispers tracks, though.
I should also note (assuming it hasn't been already) if it hasn't been already that the live version of "Faith" on the second disc of that album is in fact the one from the 12" of "Charlotte Sometimes," which wasn't on JtD and so finally has resurfaced.

Seems fairly obvious that they wouldn't bother doing a Japanese Whispers reissue (it being effectively a singles compilation anyway). I dare say either the three A-sides will be on the Top's second disc, or they'll get orphaned like Killing An Arab (to later be compiled on the Cure's Sensational Sixth Semi-Redundant Singles Comp!)
