Now Available: The Cure, MIXED UP & TORN DOWN

In 1992, The Cure had the highest profile of their career up to that point, thanks to the success of their 1989 album DISINTEGRATION, the resulting hit singles (“Fascination Street,” “Lovesong,” “Lullaby,” and “Pictures of You”), and the subsequent world tour, but the time had come for them to consider what their next step would be. Oh, sure, they’d bought themselves a little time across the pond with the release of their Europe-only live album ENTREAT in 1991, but the clock was ticking and bandleader Robert Smith had to figure out what The Cure was going to do next.

If you were a Cure fan at the time, then you may recall raising your eyebrows in uncertainty at the announcement that the band was going to be releasing an album of remixes, but MIXED UP proved to be a creative and commercial success for the band, resulting in platinum sales and a reenergized Robert Smith, which is about as good as you could hope for…until now.

Rhino has released MIXED UP: DELUXE EDITION, a new set containing a plethora of remixes, many of which you’ve never heard before. The CD version offers an expanded version of MIXED UP along with a new disc entitled TORN DOWN: MIXED UP EXTRAS 2018. The LP version, meanwhile, is a bit more complicated, in that it’s actually two sets: there’s a 2-LP vinyl set of MIXED UP as well as a 2-LP vinyl set of TORN DOWN: MIXED UP EXTRAS 2018.

Confused? Don’t worry: just take a gander at the full track listing for all of these sets, and all will become clear, including the fact that you clearly need to run out and pick up your preferred copy as soon as possible!
