This isn't correct actually, WMS was released on vinyl in the US. I used to have it.

I don't think any of the singles were released on vinyl.

I have most of the commercial 7" singles through Never Enough, and all the albums up to Wish on vinyl. I know Wish was relased on vinyl but it was always to expensive to bother with.

I really have a sh*tload on vinyl, I'll have to inventory it and come back to this thread. Now off to bed!

Cold Colours

Hmmm...this thread has gotten me thinking.  I really need to go back and buy more of my old favorite Cure albums on vinyl.  Cassettes were the medium of choice when I was a serious teenage Cure collector.  I did manage to pick up an original copy of the Faith LP way back when but, sadly, it has developed a small scratch on the "Doubt" track which annoys the piss out of me.  The only other Cure vinyl I bothered buying back in the day were the 12" singles that were coming out during the Kiss Me... and Disintegration eras so I could have the b-sides, which at that time, before the interweb, was the only way you could reliably hear new, unreleased songs.  Still remember vividly how excited I was the day the "Fascination Street" 12" came out.  I ran down to the local Music Plus (remember those West Coasters  :-D) and got it, then raced home, threw it on and jumped around the room listening to the b-sides "Babble" and "Out Of Mind".  Heady f**king days.

Don't think any new releases in the digital age will ever rival those late '80s Cure releases for me.  I still remember the dude at the cash register at Wherehouse (remember THOSE!) complimenting me on my choice of purchase when he saw the Kiss Me album I plunked up on the counter.  Brings back sooooo many memories for me.  I can still remember having to go back into the store and replace the initial copy of Disintegration I purchased because the tape spool wheel on one side had fallen apart.  Seeing the endcap in the store filled with copies of the Disintegration album, floor to ceiling, with large posters all around it.  Still have the Disintegration poster I bought as well though it's been battered around from move after move down through the years.  SIIIIIGH.  I could be here all night doing this.  Sorry for getting the conversation slightly skewed off topic.  Vinyl, vinyl must focus on the vinyl.

Hmmm...now that I think about it, I did recently pick up a used copy of the Kiss Me... double-vinyl at my local record store.  Not sure I'd bother trying to go back and buy all of the original singles now but would pick one up if I came across it, new or used, in the record bins.  I think I'd rather just focus on obtaining copies of the crucial old albums I love.  The ones I have now, I will continue to cherish.  Each one, as you've seen, is encoded to engrams in my head which hold the key to happy places and times.  They are time capsules to me, full of a youthful fervor and energy, which, when I've forgotten the feeling, they help unlock whenever I take them out for a spin.

I don't think any of the singles were released on vinyl.

but that's exactly what i was saying: someone asked why there were no vinyl singles/maxis in someone's list, i said "because it wasn't released on vinyl, on as cd singles". so my "hard to come by" comment was a slightly ironic/joke-ish one, as these things don't even exist.
yet i admit that i said "none of it" when i meant "none of them" - i suppose that's because i mostly speak some alien language and not english. ;)

of course the WMS album was released on vinyl (double vinyl actually), that's a different story. but we were talking about the singles all the time.

for vinyl releases before WMS, daren butler's book uswed to be a good guide:

Oh yes, my first Cure albums were being bought in the 80's!
Starting with "The Head On The Door" (much later I got the deluxe edition CD's), then "Kiss Me Kiss Kiss Me" and "Disintegration" (these should be first editions as I bought when released). Also during the 80's I got some older albums on vinyl, incl. The Top, Boys don't cry, Japanese Whispers, Pornography, 17 Seconds & Faith. (All not bought when newly released, i.e. later pressings, re-releases etc.)
The holy city breathed like a dying man...

I think I understood

"Albums" Aka LP's meaning those big black things people used to treat with respect, unlike CD's that everyone just rips to their pc and converts to mp3.

I have various singles on LP (with the remixes on) ranging from Lovecats to Never Enough, and some live boots, but no albums, backcatalogue was on CD (although not remastered) by the time I became a fan in 1991.

Truth is theres a lot of us younger people ripping our vinyls to lossless, and cd's as well in the same light. I couldn't ever listen to the Cure as an MP3, theres much too much beautiful detail in the music. Though I can't say that for The Cure and 4:13 dream albums, or their current live setup. But the point remains the same.
