Well, it's a good way for new fans to get into them I suppose, but I do question the whole voracity of these extra discs which will be full of rather sub-standard or rough versions of the original songs. I suppose it'll be of interest to the serious obsessives....

 

The Glove reissue, however, does sound intriguing as it has been deleted for yonks....

 

Whether I get any of these or not depends on how cheap I can get 'em off Amazon for.... :lol:

I loived the Glove album, and Head on the Door and Kiss Me are corking albums - The Top is a stinker, though.

 

These re-issues are an almighty rip-off, I think, though. The recent Depeche Mode ones, with glossy repackaging and a few extra tracks and already-released videos are currently retailing for a sickening £21.99 in HMV. Shame on them.

And I think the lesson here is - don't shop in HMV. Or Virgin..... :lol: :lol:

 

It's Amazon, CD Wow, Bang CD or Play all the way for me, pretty much. Except occasionally for Resurrection in Camden for all my obscure EBM, Industrial or Goth stuff that I cant get in the online stores.... Mind you Res aint too bad actually, average price for a CD is £12 there.....

I don't buy there... just check the prices ;)

 

Saying that, though - Spillers Records, the independent record shop in Cardiff (apparently the world's oldest record shop).... their prices have gone through the roof recently, hardly any cheaper than the major stores.

Well I see it from both sides.

 

I love The Cure, and would happily buy these to get the other tracks. However, it does kinda P me off.

 

Anyhooo, also, I have a rather cool version of Hello I love you by The Cure. It was on some weirdo compliation CD i got.
