:smth062 jealous I am.. I would love Head on the door album ...My favourite from the Cure Live album ( which wasn't played at the Melbourne concert) is a forest..and of course Charlotte Sometimes..my son's favourite is Killing an Arab, which was their final song in Melboure!! But I love the pretty picture on The Caterpillar!! :smth023
:smth020
uhhh... come on. really no offense but of course pretty much everyone here has common cure albums. (hey, this is a cure forum! - what did you think it was?)
so what's the question here? i don't see it, sorry.
:( I think there is something special about vinyl.. Lucky they still in top condition after all these years, In this age, many just have cd's.. There are a lot of young new fans without them.
I just wish they were signed! :smth023
:smth020
: \ what are you talking about? The Cure albums from the 80's?...why wouldn't you have The Cure albums from the 80's?..eh, I don't really get it..you're on the Cure fans forum....
sounds like blasphemy to me.
not literally, and I hope I'm not upsetting you..

:cry: I guess the warm feeling left me awhile back... Does anyone have the full collection on vinyl?? I know I am in company with likefans, but japanesebaby it is with regret I opened my mind to it...sorry
:smth020
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.
the albums of the Eighties are still sold in the specialized stores.
Oh...I have 8
sorry : \
I feel really bad lol. Please disregard what I said earlier. That was quite rude.
they're not too hard to find though.

If this topic is refering to vinyls, only. I have a couple of vinyls~ Kissi Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Seventeen Seconds
ok hey no offense but since this IS a cure forum, it's kind of evident that people do have cure albums right?
and i am well aware that i tend to say things a bit frankly and directly sometimes - because it actually does serve most everyone here to keep the forum organized and rid of self-evident posts/or sometimes re-posts. because if you use the search option, i bet you can find several existing threads started to pretty much all of those 80s albums individually. if some thread might be missing, please be my guest to put it up of course. but please use the search engine or browse through the existing topics and see what you find.
(for instance, i think we did have a series of "best of" threads for each album a while back, and those did generate some interesting conversation there if my memory serves. there are others too i'm sure. anyway, just suggestions.)
we try to keep the forum organized and informative here - that's the main focus. that doesn't mean i'm here telling what people can post or what they can't post or simply making sneering comments for the sake of it. so my comment (or AlluivialL's either, i'd dare to say) didn't mean it's a stupid subject to discuss cure albums/vinyls - but to simply ask if anyone does own cure albums just sounded to me like someone asking whether a food store sells any food or whether you can find gas on the gas station. why not make it a bit more detailed so there's actually basis for conversation and not just people listing what cds they have in their shelves. at least i'd personally find a bit more detailed conversation more interesting, for both those who post and those who only pass by and read it.
and let me add that i've nothing against anyone's person/personality here. i'm just trying to look after the conversation here staying informative to read for people passing by, that's all.
thanx mikmcc!!
no worries, us Aussies have to stick together, although I dont think we are too outnumbered here?
:?: :?: :?: :smth017 :smth017 :?: :smth086
well i guess alot people got cd's.
anyway, this topic is here so.... i have heaps original LP's, beautiful. :smth023
except Disintergration is in bad condition, from over usage.
and would like to replace a few with better copies to put away.
I have a lot of vinyls, too. But only a couple of Cure.
I have more Dylan, than , anything. And most are vintage and given to me.
I have all 80's Cure studio albums in vynil, bar "The Top"... Also "Wish" (a double, which was more expensive than the CD version, if I remember well... it was then that I decided that I should definitely buy a CD player).
I have Disintegration album on vinyl :D I am very happy from this, becuase it's briliant album and my fav :smth040
um, what is vinyl? just kidding, but last week, my 17 year old cousin asked what a record was. :lol:
Funnily enough, I was only looking through my box of vinyl albums the other day...
I have Japanese Whispers, The Head on the Door, and Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, plus several 7" and 12" singles, including The Caterpillar, The Walk and In Between Days.
I think I may even have some Cure on cassette, somewhere...
I have had to replace everything on CD though, as my record player doesn't work any more. :roll:
if we're talking about (Cure) vinyls,
that's what i got:
LPs:
Three Imaginary Boys
Pornography
The Top
The Cure
7'':
Inbetween Days
Why Can't I Be You?
...waiting for "The Only One"
these are the ones i remember
LP boys don't cry, 3 imaginary boys first edition, faith grey vinyl, 17 sec white vinyl, pornography red vinyl, pornography 180 gr, ...i lost or traded the others when cds appeared in 80's :cry: and now i'm searching them. and a lot of bootlegs.
7" or 12"
the walk, charlotte sometimes two versions, caterpillar, just like heaven 7"white vinyl and 12", hot hot hot, john peel sessions, others i don't remember now :D
Ahhh yes, I love the smell of vinyl in the morning! :) Most my collection is on vinyl since replaced on CD, but I still have:
Three Imaginary Boys (pre-80)
Boys Don't Cry
Seventeen Seconds
Pornography
Japanese Whispers
The Top
Head on the Door
Disintegration
As an obsessive Cure collector from way back, I have loads of vinyl. The completist in me has always bought the vinyl, cassette and CD of every release. I've got all the standard UK and US vinyl single and album releases (as well as other foreign pressings), plus many bootlegs and interview discs. As happy as I am when The Cure releases new music, it's always a new challenge to me (and my wallet) to seek out every available version. Did I mention that I love, love, love that they are releasing four new singles? :smth100

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!
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.

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.
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.)
hot hot hot 12"us, Just like heaven, lullaby, fascination street,all 12"US, love song 12" UK boys dont cry 12" after that could only find cds for singles , never seen any vinyl singles after this period in stores , i envy some of you guys
not talking about any lps though , might get stomped :lol: just kidding, i had all the official US versions up to kiss me, though, disintegration was maybe the third or fourth cd i owned , because there was no way in hell i was going to be deprived of homesick and last dance :D
The only vinyl of the Cure that we own is "Head on the Door" thats the only one that my mom bought, sadly...she wasn't the biggest fan but at least its something :smth020

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.
