I just got this and I must say I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's interesting to see what slipped through the cracks for me, cause I would have thought myself pretty familiar with everything up through Disintegration. Like, I can't understand why I saw that Half An Octopus 10"/Quadpus 12" thing so many damn times in stores and yet it never occured to me to buy it. I guess I didn't understand there was a track on there I hadn't got elsewhere. Or maybe I didn't think it would be worth the money. I really don't know.

Also a grand surprise are the Catch b-sides (I swear to god I never even saw that 12" in stores, for real - I looked up the sleeve online and it rings zero bells for me) and the Just Like Heaven 12" b-sides. I don't recall ever owning that 12" either, but I'm not sure why.

That flexi version of Lament is um...nothing to get excited about, though...;)

"To The Sky" leaves me weak at the knees. That might just be the best thing here.

I am amazed that they managed to turn the Doors' "Hello, I Love You" into a fantastic goth song. It's cool that it's mostly instrumental, too.

By that I mean the "unreleased psychedelic mix", not the other one. The other one is not goth.

Wait - I resurrected a Cure thread on ILM and no one responded??

HA! What a laugh.

Most of the Kiss Me b-sides are pretty great. I like them more than the album, in fact. When I bought it, it came with a bonus orange LP with all the b-sides and that's the one I always played.

two years pass...

Can anyone confirm if there is indeed an audible amount of clipping/distortion/etc. on the version of 'A Chain of Flowers' on disc 2?

I just bought a new set of speakers and it's driving me mad trying to figure out if its the speakers or the cd!!

Cheers!

Yeah, it clips... around 2:24, 3:08, other places too.

Cool, thanks.

The problems I'm having are with the guitar lines in the intro souding really shrill and distorted.

five years pass...

Clearmountain mix of How Beautiful You Are; amazing! wasn't there some story that Clearmountain was hired to remix the whole KMKMKM album by the Cure's manager? i know he did all the singles too.
