Anyone have a link to a listing of The Cure's radio sessions? I'd love to get an idea of what might be in that BBC box.

That live version of The Same Deep Water as You is aces. Can never undertand why it was on the original of Entreat.
― Flowersdie (Beril the peril), Friday, 9 October 2009 12:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry, ..."NOT on the orginal of Entreat".
Could a triple CD version of DISINTEGRATION be enough to pull me out of the woodwork?
Oh, it certainly could.
― Matt M., Friday, 9 October 2009 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link
It could, couldn't it.

21ST ANNIVERSARY EDITION
My first thought was "This can't be right". My second was "God, I'm old".
― o. nate, Friday, 9 October 2009 15:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I have to admit that I've never heard ENTREAT. How does it stack up to the performance of the album from TRILOGY?
― Matt M., Friday, 9 October 2009 16:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Trilogy's take is definitely stellar (and arguably even better than the originals at points) but Entreat is often no less powerful and has two OMG performances -- the title track and, as Dan rightly likes to note, a version of "Prayers for Rain" where Robert cuts loose on his vocals towards the end in an honestly jaw-dropping performance.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 October 2009 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Entreat was the first time I heard the "Prayers For Rain" howl, since I missed the Prayer Tour, and it seriously is amazing how long and how strongly he holds that note.

I have to get the 'Faith' reissue...the version of "Carnage Visors" I have is one my friend ripped from a very well-loved cassette.

yeah, I really enjoyed that piece on the making of Disintegration, although he's obviously holding back a lot of stuff
― spiny doughboy (baaderonixx), Sunday, 3 January 2010 10:43 (fourteen years ago) link
he's quite frank about how beastly they all were to Lol which is strange. I want to know what happened on the tour though.

SO. The 'Entreat' extended CD is just the album with a few more tracks on? Shame they couldn't have done a CD of the *entire gig* from that night. 35 songs, 3 hours long.. that would have been ace. Not that i'm complaining or anything. Disintegration has always sounded muffled and a bit muddy to my ears so i'm intrigued to hear a remaster.
Are any of these lost Disintegration era songs (Delirious Night etc) well known amongst Cure heads for being particularly amazing?
― piscesx, Monday, 1 March 2010 23:35 (fourteen years ago) link

The disc (part 2) also contains four unreleased songs: "Noheart", "Esten", "Delirious Night" and a cover of Judy Collins’ "Pirate Ships", the latter a solo performance by Smith that was recorded for, but ultimately not included on, Rubáiyát, a 1990 album celebrating Elektra Records’ 40th anniversary.

i don't think i have heard any of those four songs before, looking forward to this is a big way.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 1 April 2010 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
But it worries me that two of those new songs say "(Vocal)" after them. Does that mean vocals only?
