...I recently picked up the remastered Three Imaginary Boys and came to the conclusion that the a lot of the extra live stuff is actually from the 'Curiosity' half of the Concert cassette. But it does in fact have some nifty extra stuff too, like "World War" (I don't care what Robert Smith says, I like that song) and "Faded Smiles" among a few gems...plus we find out that the instrumental at the end of TIB actually has a name! :p

I've been getting a lot of the TIB stuff on my Launchcast lately. Not terribly impressed enough to want to buy the special edition.

Haven't heard anything from the next 3 tho...

I know I'll eventually pick up the next three, but I'm trying to keep myself from buying them all at once. I'd like to have a decent copy of "All Cats Are Grey", though...still my favorite early Cure song...

I'll let you know once I have them...(*mumblemumblecopycopymumblemumble*)

I've been meaning to ask you: I've been seeing used copies of Japanese Whisper, The Top, and Concert left and right ever since you, you know, did that thing. Let me know if you want me to ever pick em up for you.

What--you mean..."thingie"?

Tempting, but I actually want to see if they remaster those as well. I'm sure they'll do at least The Top, since that's been out of American commission for awhile, and Concert was never released domestically.

As for Japanese Whispers...I believe most of that is actually available on the box set now. I'm just hoping they release some of the 12-inch remixes...
