Superb compilation: 13 tracks, from Killing An Arab to Close To Me and naturally including the re-released Boys Don’t Cry. The tape, meanwhile boasts an extra 12(!) tracks of unavailable B-sides. Over the years Robert Smith’s contrariness has led to a wealth of images, ideas and accessible tunes, all bearing the group’s own instantly recognizable mark. Almost accidentally, The Cure are now, deservedly, a household name. This can’t fail. Joy through misery.
