What would you do with £80??
Let me see... some vinyl, tickets, booze & 'miscellaneous' perhaps? A new jacket? A ticket for a decent European festival?
Nope. All wrong. My girlfriend in a semi-pissed state in the pub, having just finished yet another book about The Cure, announced that she wanted to buy this album but it wasn't on eBay. 5 minutes later I'd got it off Discogs for her on my iPhone. £80! That would be the unreleased Cure track then? No - she's got it on the Join The Dots compilation. How about the unreleased Tim Pope track that features The Cure as the backing band? Nope, she bought the 12" of that at the same time (a mere £25 - it was payday Friday). I got her the Cult Hero 7" as a pressie a few years back. The Associates tune is easily available as well. She must be a closet Eat or Die Warzau fan then? Nope - just daft about all things Cure/Fiction and had to have this limited edition (1000) promo CD.
It's great to have someone who is as hardcore about collecting music as I am, but CDs - no emotional attachment in my book. Whatever floats her boat I guess...

That's hardcore! But I'm going to take your advice and "NO buy it now"
Waste of money. Serves you right for having an i-phone, schwull.
Schwull? Dunno what that is but it wasn't my money - I was merely her ISP.
After a quick google, I can exclusively reveal that Mr Anon from above was calling me a German name for 'homosexual'. Such wit!
Thank you very much. Why don't you promote that at www.cureconnections.com? See you, punka
It must be said that the mastering of "Join The Dots" leaves much to be desired. Although so does the original mix of "To The Sky".
Nice work! To the sky, still one of my fave tracks. Cheers.
For £80, surely they could have put-on the Tim Pope b-sides?!
Elephant, phunt, punt...
