26 November 2022

Yes, the LP with this pop diamond on.

The deluxe edition contains no less than 24 previously unreleased tracks and four
that were previously only available from the mail order-only tape Lost Wishes.

Robert Smith “There’s a side to the album which I had kind of forgotten, a very gentle, yearning thing which is quite beautiful. TRUST is one of the best things we’ve ever done
I think, it’s played with great feeling, and To Wish Impossible Things is another gorgeous, melancholic piece. in fact, it could well be my favourite song on the record.”

“In the studio control room it all sounded excellent, but I got too busy sorting out our
upcoming concerts to properly oversee the mastering. It was too late to do anything
about it; the album was out, and we were off around the world again. It has really
bugged for me for a very long time. It has taken 30 years, but finally, my Wish has
come true.”

Content: 3CD 45-track edition, 2xLP vinyl edition,
1CD edition, also available digitally. Details here.

Pop Goth Icons THE CURE Released 9th Album ‘WISH’ 30 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

Back in time

21 April 2022

Band: THE CURE
Active: Since 1978 / 13 studio LPs (so far)

Anniversary album: WISH
Released: 21 April 1992 – 30 years ago today

Rolling Stone Magazine: “Smith is the top howler in pop music now. Bravely, mastering his own literate notions of how bands might do more with postpunk “gloom rock” than just bellyache, he has fiddled around with and fine-tuned the Cure for fifteen years. Since The Head on the Door (1985), when he discovered the joys of groove, acoustic jangle, and any instrumentation that could further heighten the increasing emotionality of his songs, Smith’s work with the Cure has never been less than original, often inspired. Wish lacks the dynamic grab of Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (1987) and the awesome brooding rush of Disintegration (1989). Yet this outstanding album, like all the Cure’s best music, runs on
its own brash logic, making a virtue of its emotional polarities.” Score: 4/5.

Turn Up The Volume: The Cure by numbers, with the 3 singles as standouts.

– FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE –

– HIGH –

– A LETTER TO ELISE –
