Hello All,
            I wonder why Japanese Whispers was missed out in the special remastered editions. I know it is a small album but maybe there would have been enough content to perhaps fill one remastered CD with some demo's , Live and studio outakes etc as well as the original album.
The Cure never played "The Upstairs Room" live to my knowledge. I think thats the best song Japanese Whispers.
     Any comments regarding this??
                                                Cheers, Krissik :-)

i think its because all these songs have already been remastered, either on join the dots or greatest hits cds.............and maybe there wasnt enough live performances or demos to make it worthwhile.........

According to me,

There is no JW cd Deluxe because JW is not a real album, but a kind of "compilation" of singles.

yes..i agree with you
that's also what Robert said some times ago about this thing :)

krissik

Yes I think you guys are probably right. I checked my Join The Dots Box Set and there are some of those songs on it. It would have been nice to have a remastered Jap Whispers tho :-)

meanwhile, i'm still waiting for them to arrive from cdwow.com :(

I think the 'japanese' demos were lost (as the most of 'seventeen' demos) pity because I wish to listen alternative versions of 'Upstairs Room' 'Lament' and 'Just One Kiss'... :(

[labyrinth]

better in this way..
less money to use  :-D

[labyrinth]

oh..finally i got "The Head on the door"..in these days i should receive "The Top" and "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" let's hope they'll arrive soon :)

I listen to the bonus discs in descending order starting from kiss me and ending to 3ib... One notices the "gap" between
the top and pornography that should be filled with japanese whispers.. One reason then that i must buy the greatest
hits cd to have the jw. singles in remastered form... and make my own japanese whispers "deluxe disc". I miss then
the kid jensen session from november 82 that has such a poor sound on the common bootleg recordings. I hope someday will see the release of the radio sessions from 81-82... to fill a gap in their rarities discography.

Ok for Japanese Whispers. But what about 'Concert' ? It was out before 'Head On The Door'. So, if RS must remastered it, it must be out before 'Head On The Door', no ?
He could put others songs from The Top Tour on a second CD. There was 'Curiosity' on the tape version of 'Curiosity'. But those songs are available on the remasters.

And Entreat, Show and Paris : what RS will do with them ?

Darth Blood

mmm i read that the cure philosophy about the "live recordings" is NO OVERDUB that means no postproduction in that records so, concert, entreat, show, paris , and five swing live have NO OVERDUBS and i think that way that Robert want to keep that recordings... maybe some extra oficcial live tracks worth!!!

Even if they don't want to put others tracks on the album, i think they must remastered the live albums. Original CD are not good, or why they remastered it ?
And RS philosophy about remasters is : let's put extra tracks on the remasters bonus CD.

So live recording must be remastered.

We all have unofficial tracks, and i think the Cure have a lot of recordings that we never heard. So i think they have materials to put a bonus CD.

yeah! i want a special editon of 'entreat' with all three shows from wembley!  :-D
