John Peel was a music visionary without being a musician. This session is a treasure of british music history, recorded even before the first studio album was released as he did with many other artists. He was able to put non-recorded hits on radio, amazing!

Wonderful memories of seeing the Cure in their early day's as Easy Cure as a five piece with my school mate Paul Thompson on guitar. At the legendary local Crawley pub the Rocket. Then as a 3 piece Celebrating the release of 3 imaginary boys LP, with a gig at a youth centre!! Buying Killing an arab/10.15 first week of release. Gigs in Brighton...rest is history. Truly an amazing band in all their forms.

It was a “sleeper” hit. Didn’t chart upon it’s release in ‘79, but charted well after it was remixed and re-released in 1986. I think what did it (in ‘86) was they made a video for the song, which got some pretty good rotation on MTV.

Siouxsie Sioux on I‘m Cold and Safron on Just Say Yes aside, you are right. But why would Robert have needed another background singer since he started adding massive amounts of echos to his voice starting in 1980? I think that after touring with the Banshees in 1979, Robert found the sound he wanted to pursue with the Cure, and wrote 3 kickass records about the hopelessness of time, religion and desire. Kudos to Mike Hedges and Phil Thornally to make these records sound so bleak. Just compare it to the production of the 2004 Self-titled Desaster album. I think that any of the Peel Session recordings of the Cure had a higher quality than that particular record.
