Title: Looking for a description of this "Boys Don't Cry"
Post by: natnohan on December 17, 2009, 01:36:21
I am brand new to this site and would very much appreciate some help.  I have a version of "Boy's Don't Cry" that I am trying to identify.  It is described as the original 12" version and is 5:11 in length.  I would like to know what the original sleeve looked like and when it was released.  I will send it to anyone that may be able to help me identify.  Thank you in advance.

The version you're talking about is the Extended 12'' Dance Version from the Boys Don't cry (New voice - Club Mix) maxi released in june 1986.

Is your version this one?

Boys Don't Cry (12" Extended Version) The Cure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhOquNVtEA#ws)

If the answer is YES, then is the same version. I don't know why one is longer than the other, thought.

They are not the same.  Is there a way I can send my version to you?  I am fairly new to downloading and have been searching for this for 2 days.

The version I'm talking about is the same version I pointed in the YouTube. I don't know of another 12'' version.

I've got your version on my mailbox. Yes, they're not the same version. The one I pointed out in the YouTube video is the original 12'' version by The Cure. The one you sent me must be a version from someone based on the 12'' version. Is not an official version, for sure.
