Nice list! I personally don't consider 10:15 a b-side since it was on Three Imaginary Boys, and The Upstairs Room was on Japanese Whispers, but hey.. that's just me smile

And i was just thinking the other night how great The Upstairs Room is. I did my own version of "Japanese Whispers" incorporating Mr. Pink Eyes + all the Japanese Whispers tracks + several tracks from Blue Sunshine (Mr. Alphabet Says, Perfect Murder, Relax (great closer!!), The Tightrope (Great opener!!) and the Man from Nowhere.

It actually works really well as a coherent album:

THE CURE
Japanese Whispers - the Northern Lad version smile

The Tightrope
Mr. Pink Eye
A Blues in Drag
Perfect Murder
The Upstairs Room
The Lovecats
The Dream
Lament

The Man From Nowhere
Let's Go To Bed
Mr. Alphabet Says
Speak My Language
Just One Kiss
The Walk
Relax


cool OK, i'm a dork, but it's aiiight. It's a great disc, dammit!

I admit I cheated with "10:15 Saturday Night". If we're restricted to b-sides that never appeared on any albums then throw in "The Exploding Boy" and maybe "Mr Pink Eyes" as replacements.

None of the b-sides after the 'Mixed Up' album stuck with me. They began to sound like generic Cure at that point.

Give 'em another chance. Some are fantastic. Especially "This Twilight Garden".
