PS. LOVELY NEW MERCH AT GREAT PRICES (!) IS ON IT’S WAY SHORTLY - DETAILS/ORDERING ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK

ALBEIT WE CANNOT REALLY CONTROL PRICES - INDEED, IT IS IN MANY PLACES SEEN AS ‘PRICE FIXING’ IF WE EVEN TRY TO DISCUSS GETTING THEM LOWERED! - BUT HOPEFULLY IT IS NOW ALL SORTED… ONWARDS! THE CURE

WE ARE SORRY THE RELEASE OF 'BOYS DON’T CRY (86)’ IS A BIT MUDDLED - NOT OUR FAULT! THE 7” B-SIDE IS 'PLASTIC PASSION (79)' (NOT 'PILLBOX TALES (86)’) - & SOME OF THE MORE ABSURD PRICES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS: CD @ £4.99/$6.99 - 7” @ £9.99/$13.99 - 12” @ £14.99/$19.99

I RE-SANG IT IN 86 AS I THOUGHT I COULD DO A BIT MORE WITH THE SONG - I FELT I WAS IMPROVING AS A SINGER, BECOMING MORE CONFIDENT- SO ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T REALLY DEVIATE TOO MUCH FROM THE ORIGINAL VOCAL MELODY OR PHRASING, I KNEW I COULD GET A BIT MORE TONE & EMOTION INTO THE REWORK

FOR FORTY YEARS ‘BOYS DON'T CRY' (‘NEW VOICE - NEW MIX’) WAS ONLY AVAILABLE ON 7" & 12" VINYL & VIA THE VIDEO - UNTIL NOW! THE 1986 VERSION - INCLUDING A 2026 REMASTER - WILL BE AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON THE JANUARY 30TH. PRE-ORDER THE REMASTERED VERSION AT thecure.lnk.to/BoysDontCry
