The Cure Drops Wish 30th Anniversary Reissue Featuring Previously Unreleased Demos & Live Tracks

In honor of 30 years since the release of The Cure‘s Wish, the band has announced 45-track deluxe reissue of the LP. This reissue features 21 previously unreleased demos, four tracks from the band’s 1993 mail-order only cassette Lost Wishes, a previously unreleased track, “A Wendy Band,” from the 1992 Manor Studio sessions, an alternate mix of “From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea,” and a previously unheard live version of “End” from 1992. The album was remastered by The Cure’s Robert Smith and Miles Showell at the infamous Abbey Road Studios.

On Thursday, November 24, The Cure offered a preview of two new songs at the first show of their European tour. Find more information and tickets here. (Consequence)
