I was wondering what happend to the website www.curehitsus.com (http://www.curehitsus.com) that was featured on the back fo the Best Cure Videos DVD? (2001)I tried looking it up but it went to this other website not related to the Cure at all. Did they get rid of it? What was on it before? :smth100
Does anyone know? And also where can I find the official music video for "Catch" the one on Youtube has no sound :(
Well, curehitsus had a link with Greatest Hits rarities that i managed to get.

The official website is so bad btw. I'm old enough to remember the Bloodflowers-era website that had personal pages for each member, and Robert's page had long lists of favorites and his thoughts about football and loads more. Now it's just "buy this, order that" (not that anyone should expect anything else from a brand with a global following that's managed by professional marketing and pr people)...
I've been looking for this for years would be nice if there was a way to still get it.

Oh that's true, but it is confirmed that these weird titles like B46 V.3 really were the titles of those demos. On curehitsus.com these were called like that. I even can prove that by posting a few links confirming it.
But anyway, i gathered 75% of those demos. Shouldn't be very long.

I have never heard of that website before. What was it about?
At the time of the GH release, in addition to the usual thecure.com, they created a special temporary website, based on the design of the album , with small stars on which you could click and on which you could see some promo videos of some songs, hear extracts of the singles, read the lyrics, see pics.. and also download these demos!
A bit like the one they've made at the time of the Disintegration deluxe reissue, if you've seen that one...

I just see this now ! Much appreciated <3 <3 <3
Hello there!
There is one song missing; Let's Go To Bed (12" 'Duke' Remix).
Could you please share that one too.
Thanks very much!
I don't know i think about that 'Duke remix', on which record is it?
It was released only on Greatest Hits (Rarities)
The version of high released on the Greatest Hits curehits temporary website of rarities was a demo version, not a remix.
Do you know, how can I get it now?
no sorry, I just have the track list...
if i find it back i'll put it here.
hi. thank you for the link. but it's missing let's go to bed (12" duke mix). I was wondering if you could post a link to that and if you could please include inbetween days (euro mix) and high (trip mix). thank you so much for the link.
Quote from: neonbluetiger on September 24, 2021, 01:07:50hi. thank you for the link. but it's missing...
Keep in mind that (according to his profile info) fdipper was last online on March 15, 2021.
I don't know anything about the 'euro mix', on which record is it?
hello! here is the info on the inbetween days euro mix.
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Clubmix-Classics-1/release/3400239
here is a link on youtube

thanks ulrich. hopefully fdipper might see this tho. thanks fdipper. thanks everyone.
If i understand it well, it's a remix compilation made by a dj and not an official release, so it's less interesting (to me). It was fun to hear inbetween days this morning though :)
The Inbetween Days 12" mix is way better IMHO and it's just an extra minute of the song, but it's one of those that Robert disikes so it won't ever see the light of day. That euromix is just... idk, one of those dj ones that sounds like something a dj threw together, I know there is one of the walk out there too. The Walk one actually sounds better to me, probably because it sounds more like a dance track in the first place. But that's just my opinion I guess.
Also, to clarify, even though I know I'm necroposting, the demo of Pictures of You from the curehitsus website is NOT the same as the one from the rarities disc of Disintegration, as that one has a runtime of 3:30 and the one from the website is 4:42 and is far more fleshed out and lush than the more barebones one, and the melodies are more like the final version, especially once he comes out of the "If only I'd thought of the right words" change. So it's cool to have a slightly different one, showing the evolution of even his home demos, probably before he showed them to the band.
I also love having the original titles since they had been lost to time from when I ripped the songs from the site. It shows the titles in the way they would show them to the band, and that's awesome. Sometimes with an initial and a number, or a name like Anniversary was before the band got it. I know that I downloaded the files straight from the site so I'm not sure how you got them in 320kbps though as mine are in 160kbps. Kinda like how my OG Spilt Milk is a crappy 96kbps file but then somehow a 192kbps showed up somewhere and it was so much better, obviously as 96kbps isn't even suitable for dogs, but was better than not even having the song.
Extra thought - Simon should have gotten a writing credit on Let's Go To Bed since it was built on Temptation which the whole band wrote during the Pornography sessions.
