the kiss me rarities alone:

Is that the band that sang "Careless Whisper"?

How'd they fit "Hey You!" onto the first 'Kiss Me' disc?

sextonseven said:

huh? it's on my version of the disc.

Anx said:

Is this one of those '1999' deals again? I had this one: http://www.amazon.com/exe...ce&s=music

sextonseven said:

i boiught my copy on CD way late in the game. i had it on cassette when it first came out, then i finally broke down and bought it on sale around 1997 or thereabouts.

Anx said:

Is yours an import? Or the Bizzaro-world edition? Because I swear every time I walk into stores, they only have the 17-track version.

sextonseven said:

i bought mine at everyone loves the wiz in NYC.

though i suspect not everyone loved the wiz.

Anx said:

I'm stumped. I never knew a complete version of the 'Kiss Me' album existed. And I can't find any evidence of it either.

For the record I liked the Wiz. Didn't love 'em, but they were what Best Buy is today--limited music selection with cheap prices.

Anx said:

thank you co-

sextonseven said:

I think ont he first issues Hey You couldn't fit. But I think technology has been able to squeeeze just a tad more room to accomdate all the trax.

Shit, I wanted to start this thread!

I've been checking for Cure news every day for months!

But I'm ecstatic with these tracklists. I think "The Top" and "Head" bonus discs look especially delicious.

Was "Blue Sunshine" that non-Cure album with Robert Smith and members of Soixsussie and the Bannashees (I'm sure I screwed up the spelling, sorry). I've always liked the Cure, but those are huge investments! Maybe I'll pick up one eventually. And where is "Japanese Whispers", or is that considered a singles compilation?

VinnyM27 said:

Yeah, Blue Sunshine was with Steve Severin from The Banshees.

All of the "Japanese Whispers" tracks have been remastered and included on "Greatest Hits" and "Join The Dots".

You should be able to find these for about $22 at Record Time.

VinnyM27 said:

It sounds like you are drunk.

superspaceboy said:

I still can't find one of those technologically advanced copies.

sextonseven said:

Me either.

GangstaFam said:

Anx probably made it up. He's confusing his dreams of Cure utopia where all their CDs are complete with reality again.

sextonseven said:

You're probably right.

wowie.... these tracklistings are amazing. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Yeah Hey You wasnt on the first pressing of the Cd, It was on Cassette and Vinyl.

It was a b side on Hot Hot Hot 12 inch. I believe.

I'm not really ready for these. I'm still basically wading through Staring at the Sea: The Singles.

"Hey You!"? "Fight"?

well, if it's not on my CD, either i didn't miss it in the first place or else it was on the rarities box set and it filtered into my consciousness as never having been missing in the first place. i swear i will be bothered enough to figure it out one way or another sometime before year's end.

GangstaFam said:

the only thing missing from all of this... A Japanese Dream 12"...wonder why that got left off of all of this.

Anx said:

You're prolly thinking of it from the cassette or something. I listen to Kiss Me x 3 and rarely notice it's not there.

superspaceboy said:

i swear i've put it on people's CD comps in years past...it's one of my favorite songs from the album. oh well. whatever. nevermind.

Anx said:

superspaceboy said:

we're also missing 12 inch mixes of The Lovecats and Just One Kiss, I believe.... maybe they will do a separate collection of remixes? Or, perhaps make Mixed Up a 2-disc set?
