Disintegration -- all 12 songs on 2 LPs
This double LP 180-gram edition includes all 12 songs found on the CD but not all were on the original 1989 vinyl release. This is not the gatefold version cover but inner sleeves have lyrics etc. The remastered audio was done with Robert Smith's close involvement. While you will read some reviews saying it sounds compressed and muffled and the remaster is worse than original, etc. It's not true. Seriously, the original CD / cassette / vinyl were murky too and all say "MIXED TO BE PLAYED LOUD so TURN IT UP" on back cover. While you can enjoy it alone on your ear buds while moping around dark quarters, the mix was always distorted and compressed. The drums and guitars and keyboards and vocals aren't separated. The smudged lipstick and music are part of the "feel" of the album. If you want the cymbals to tingle and bass more clearly defined, buy the 12 inch and single remixes, all mixed "hot and loud" with additional high frequency sounds in the late 80s. If you want the original 70 minute Disintegration experience, this is it on vinyl!

Classic album, classic format
Killer album from The Cure. Top to bottom it is stacked with great songs and hits. Remastered vinyl sounds great.

Classic Cure
One of the best Cure albums ever. I think ever goth in the 90's owned a record, CD, tape, poster, t-shirt and a sticker/patch of this one.

Best Cure album
The Cure is my favorite band of all time. I own all of The Cure on CD including the deluxe box sets, but as they say Vinyl is King. So, I just had to pick up the record, and vinyl records have a warmer sound to them being that they are analog vs digital recordings. The album is crisp and clean.
