The Cure BBC Sessions Volume One

[@Lucas-vj8rr]

best period 79-82

[@davidgarione2206]

Well I started to listen to Cure later in 1984 or 1983 in my country Argentina. I didn't even know a damm word of English, anyway I'd bought a little book with Cure lyrics both in English and translated to Spanish. Whatever they said, I really got deeply depressed by the music and at the same time really loved those tunes. As someone said, all that stuff coincided with a difficult period of my loving life. Now as a mid happy man of 60 can overcome all those times and enjoyd Cure songs as well as their poetry. Long live Mr Smith's art!

[@johnmccann6390]

I only discovered The Cure in 2019 ! I am amazed,the creativity is unique like no other band, Its all i listen too now.

[@ShiroMiura-fy4lw]

Yeah you can't categorize their music. A true alternative rock band before alternative rock was a word.

[@BraxtonWages]

Yes, they are addictive that way. I listened to the Cure’s entire catalog for about two years and that’s all I listened to.

[@brendanbrendan9435]

Born '57. Saw this band for the first time in Nottingham when I was 21. This period represented the worse days of my life. Still, at least the accompanying soundscape was pretty incredible. Every cloud, & all that.......

[@martinquarton184]

Hi Brendon,would that be at Sandpipers, I went to that gig.

[@brendanbrendan9435]

@@martinquarton184 Hello Martin, I went to see them at Tiffany's, Milton St (I think) June '79 on their 3 Imaginary Boys' UK tour. I didn't see them at Sandpipers but I saw them again in the autumn of '79 when they supported Souxsie & the Banshee on their Join Hands UK tour at the Nott'm United Sports Centre. I think RS played the S&tB set as 2 members of her band went AWOL during that tour. Nott'm a great place to see bands, during that era, though I'm sure this remains the same today too.

[@donatelladelpriore3375]

You're so lucky

[@neilprocter3755]

@@donatelladelpriore3375 yes it was one of the best gigs I ever attended. They were touring mid-sized venues on their way to stadium status. They encouraged the new and the avant garde in the way of support from new band And Also The Trees and Lydia Lunch performing The Agony Is The Ecstasy! After all that The Cure gave a stellar performance of material taken from Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds and their latest release, Faith.

[@nemonooit]

a lot of these songs sound better than the versions they put on their albums.

[@arturogarcia-vb8mv]

Agree

[@auralepiphanies4055]

Yeah agreed and they have had time to play them a bunch... and it's L I V E !!!!

[@guybarbey9412]

[@bendyman]

I've been a Cure fan for a long time and been lucky enough to see them several times. Whenever I listen to this playlist I'm always caught out by the excellent version of Primary that they play here - it’s so different to the album version, but still familiar at the same time. Great stuff!

[@58jimjam]

This version of Primary is awesome.

[@sublime12201]

I wonder what england was like after the pistols... Morrissey, joy division, Gary numan, pil, exploited, Adam ant, banshees....must have been amazing!!

[@alihart]

It really was. To be fair this applies to the UK as a whole. In Scotland we had Rezillos, Skids, Zones, Scars, Simple Minds, The Postcard mob, Fire Engines and loads others. These were bands you could see and meet almost weekly. I think we assumed it was just the way things were

[@brettblute7739]

I have just been thinking, this music is 42 yrs. old. Now I think of what I thought of the music that came out 42 yrs. before this did in 1980. Music of the 1940's was largely Orchestral, I like some of it but it was a chore to chill with my Grandparents and listen to this on the Old Victor Victrola, hand crank Phonograph. I miss it now but it is truly sweet to hear The Cure and see what a big impact they have, on most of the bands I still listen to and they are still vital. Now, to see Robert Smith coming up on at least 3 new releases this year; I feel truly blessed. I'm still "Standing on The Beach".

[@snoopyboobs]

yea, this is standard generational bias, everybody thinks the music they grew up with was special. I love music from the 1980's because I was a teenager hanging out with my friends, having fun. My mom feels the same way about music from the 60's, neither one of us is wrong.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

@@snoopyboobs Yes, nostalgia is a thing. But still there was a period between the 50s and the 90s when pop music was invented and there was a hug acceleration in the progress of the media and production, discovering uncharted territory, allowing each generation to distance itself from the previous one. I don't think this happens the same way musically anymore.

[@alihart]

@@Schmidtelpunkt Absolutely correct in my view. I suppose we should be grateful to have been around as it happened

excellent versions, simply the best the cure👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@caveman85635]

I first came across The Cure in 1980 or 81....Since then, I have come to the conclusion that Robert is rather genius, to put it mildly....jmo! Robert has done the same songs, but with different grooves, like mixed up, dance, etc...i love every freaking version! I try to imagine how busy his mind must be.....

[@rogercageot-prod]

Amazing panorama of the best years.... with surprises: The response song (Grinding Halt, like was also Do The Hansa ;) Forever, an alternative version of Three (?) Happy tune of Primary Colors (before the definitive version in constant tension) The softy Drowning Man (+++) And lots of these extraordinary boys' rebuilted songs here.....

[@legarspelot6715]

One of the best Cure period

[@marcg.9460]

Certain versions of these tunes are simply thrilling....The Drowning Man is just beautiful

[@TH3_FURY]

[@eamonacton1466]

A time capsule discovered at the end of the garden, this is an inspired collection of Cure BBC sessions. I love how you can hear the early versions of our all time favourite songs. The version of Primary and Siamese Twins are almost better than the album versions. A treasure trove for true Cure fans. How great would it be for Robert to release vol1 and vol2 as a deluxe coloured vinyl boxset?

[@GeezerFowler]

Raw and brilliant - a treasure trove indeed Mr Acton :) .

[@MegaOphiuchus]

Does "almost better" mean they are equal? Because it is not inferior and yet not better at the same time. Cheers!

[@Beelzebubbbbles]

As much as I'd love to see that box set, I don't think it's down to Robert - I think the Beeb owns the rights to all the Peel sessions.

a rare case of really genius. they were just there from the start, like an erratic block in kubricks 2001. them and joy division.

[@adrianokury]

Gone were the days of the buzzcock-nervous churning guitar of F-i-r-e in C-a-i-r-o (although this vibe occasionally reappears as in Play for Today). This is the 17 Seconds crawling phase, flanger-drowned, melancholic, mostly slowed-down, with added atmospheric synth (although sometimes it is barely audible in the mix).

All The Cats Are Gray) are examples of overlooked studio takes that really shine live over the air...the band around him means business
