Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The Head on the Door is the sixth studio album by English rock band The Cure, released in August 1985. Preceded by the single InchIn Between DaysInch which had reached #15 on the UK singles chart, The Head on the Door was described by Melody Maker as Incha collection of pop songsInch. With it's variety of styles, it allowed the group to reach a wider audience in both Europe and North America. In the United Kingdom, it quickly became their most successful album to date, climbing to #7 on the albums chart. The album is the first to feature drummer Boris Williams. Bassist Simon Gallup, who had previously worked on three major Cure albums of the early 80's, was called back before the recording. In 1985, the band became a quintet with instrumentalist Porl Thompson as fifth official member. The Head on the Door is the first Cure album where all the songs are composed by singer and guitarist Robert Smith only. Album Tracks 1. In Between Days 2. Kyoto Song 3. The Blood 4. Six Different Ways 5. Push 6. The Baby Screams 7. Close to Me 8. A Night Like This 9. Screw 10. Sinking
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The Top is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Cure, released on 30 April 1984. The Top contains different styles, from Spanish to Middle-Eastern and also metallic for the most violent songs. After recording a psychedelic album Blue Sunshine for the one-off project The Glove during the summer 1983, Robert Smith finished off the year composing and working on two other studio albums at the same time The Top for The Cure and Hyæna for Siouxsie and the Banshees. Smith was still the official guitarist of Siouxsie and the Banshees while he wrote The Top. For The Top, Smith teamed up with another Cure founding member Lol Tolhurst who had given up drums for keyboards, and new member drummer Andy Anderson who had previously performed on the UK top 10 single InchThe LovecatsInch. Porl Thompson was credited for playing saxophone on InchGive Me ItInch. All the songs are credited by Smith bar three tracks co-written with Tolhurst, InchThe CaterpillarInch, InchBird Mad GirlInch and InchPiggy in the MirrorInch. Album Tracks 1. Shake Dog Shake 2. Birdmad Girl 3. Wailing Wall 4. Give Me It 5. Dressing Up 1. The Caterpillar 2. Piggy in the Mirror 3. The Empty World 4. Bananafishbones 5. The Top
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Seventeen Seconds is the second studio album by English rock band The Cure, recorded at Morgan Studio and released on 22 April 1980. Seventeen Seconds established the group's gloomy sound that would continue until 1982's Pornography. It is the only Cure album to feature keyboardist Matthieu Hartley. Inspiration was very high for the album, as Robert Smith wrote the lyrics and music for most of the record on just two occasions. Most of the music was composed by Smith in his parents' home, on a Hammond organ with a built-in tape recorder. Interviewed in 2004, producer Mike Hedges does not recall any demo tracks, with the band generally playing the track in the studio before laying down a backing track to which overdubs were added. Two members of The Magazine Spies, bass guitarist Simon Gallup and keyboardist Matthieu Hartley, were added to the band's lineup. Gallup replaced Michael Dempsey, which relieved Smith as he felt Dempsey's basslines were too ornate and that they weren't getting on socially. Hartley's synth work added a new dimension to the band's newly ethereal sound, although Smith and he clashed over complexity (Hartley enjoyed complex chords; Smith wanted single notes). Album Tracks 1. A Reflection 2. Play for Today 3. Secrets 4. In Your House 5. Three 1. The Final Sound 2. A Forest 3. M 4. At Night 5. Seventeen Seconds
