Where the hell are:

Let's go to bed?
The Walk??
The Lovecats???

Not to mention the 12" mixes????????????????????????

[korova1]

Yeah, there are definitely some tracks MIA. Like the LONGER versions of the tracks originally on the Walk EP which STILL haven't been released on CD. Who knows, maybe there is some stuff in the works. Perhaps a Cure 12" collection? I am a little bummed about those tracks. But....

It is nice to get Forever, Ariel, and the Top demos though!!!

Will probably grab Blue Sunshine though - looks like the most interesting of the bunch

[TVC15]

Does anyone know if they will go right up through "Disintergration", "Wish", and so on?

The first 3 are avaialble Digitally Remastered on the Greatest Hits CD. Those songs would definitely be out of place on The Top, even though they are chornological cousins.

The 12" mixes...and i don't know this for sure...(or do I?)...the Cure's Mixed Up album could also be getting the 2CD Deluxe treatment...and perhaps....the Bonus Disc will have the original 12" mixes from Let's Go To Bed thru Pictures of You...

The reissues will continue. And if they keep coming out in 3's, the next 3 could/would be Disintegration, Mixed Up, and Wish.

And all the songs from the US version of The Walk EP, except the long version of Just One Kiss, appear on the Join The Dots Box Set. The short version of Just One Kiss is on there instead.

So, Chris...
Any hints as to what the "incentive" for pre-ordering the latest batch of remasters through The Ideal Copy is gonna be? I ordered the lot - along with Blue Sunshine - over the weekend, and August 8th is a looong ways away... [;)]
