Our Take

The Cure have always been a band that thrives in the live setting, so it's no surprise that this collection of BBC sessions from 1979-1983 is an absolute treat for any die-hard fan. Packed with raw energy and infectious charm, this Lagoon Vinyl release brings the listener right into the heart of the band's early years, when they were just starting to make waves in the post-punk scene.

From the opening notes of "10.15 Saturday Night" to the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Faith," these sessions capture The Cure at their most vulnerable and most electrifying. Robert Smith's distinctive voice cuts through the air like a knife, while the rest of the band weaves intricate sonic tapestries that transport you to a different time and place.

Tracks like "Killing an Arab" and "A Forest" showcase the band's ability to create atmosphere and mood with just a few chords, while "Play for Today" and "Charlotte Sometimes" highlight their knack for crafting catchy, radio-friendly hits. It's a testament to The Cure's versatility and craftsmanship that these songs sound just as fresh and vital today as they did over four decades ago.

Overall, this collection is a must-have for any Cure fan, offering a glimpse into the band's early creative process and showcasing their undeniable talent. So grab a copy, sit back, and let yourself be transported back to a time when music was raw, emotional, and utterly unforgettable.
