The Cure The Greatest Hits Acoustic (180g Vinyl 2LP)

Originally a postpunk outfit with gothic leanings, The Cure evolved into one of the most visionary, creatively satisfying and influential groups to come of age in the 1980's. From dreamy pop to moody expressionism, their signature sound is adventurous, hypnotic, and rich with texture. Curated and remastered by Robert Smith and now available on vinyl for the first time, Acoustic Hits was issued in 2001 as the second disc of the Greatest Hits 2CD edition and features stripped-down versions of all the of the band's finest from their then 25-year history like "Just Like Heaven," "Love Song," "Boys Don't Cry," and "Friday I'm In Love" plus the two new tracks "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes." "We wanted to do it to make the 'hits' package more special," explained Smith. "This collection contains the songs that are sung with a smile - the Cure's 'lighter side."
