5.0 out of 5 stars Peel, December 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Peel Sessions (Audio CD)

The versions of classic Cure material found here seem much cleaner and somehow more heartfelt than those on "Three Imaginary Boys". "Killing An Arab" is great, probably the best version I've heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cure, stripped down and pure, in this John Peel Session, October 10, 1999

Virtually every artist to lay down tracks in Peel Sessions succeeds in bringing together a concise vocabulary of their work at a given point in time. Usually the time that John Peel records his select groups, that group is doing its finest works in progress. The Cure session is no different than the rest. Armed with only four tracks, and not even with Boys Don't Cry (the group's first big single), The Cure rip through the set with precision rhythm and a deft ska-punk mentality which made them stars in the early game. This album is a must-have !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Peel is always good, February 4, 2004

This is a must have for all big Cure fans, especially those of their oldest punky sound. All 4 of these tracks are gems... maybe not superior to the orignial versions but fun alternate versions that definitely are not inferior... if your the casual Cure fan then skip over this because its unfortunately only 4 tracks... but for all of those hardcore Cure fans... do not pass this one up... especially if you like Three Imaginary Boys... i also suggest getting the sessions of the Bauhaus and Joy Division...
