The Cure RSD vinyl to get wider release
The two Cure albums issued as vinyl picture discs on Record Store Day this year are to be issued as black vinyl pressings later this month.
The 2001 Greatest Hits album featured 18 tracks chosen by Robert Smith and this compilation was unreleased on vinyl until April this year. At the time of the original release, a limited edition two-CD edition featured an extra CD dubbed Acoustic Hits. This was a great bonus for fans, as it featured newly recorded acoustic versions of the same 18 tracks. Again, for Record Store Day this was issued on vinyl for the first time.
Since both RSD releases were double LP picture discs, you could argue that this is a rare instance of the non-limited editions being superior and more desirable than their RSD counterparts! These black vinyl 2LP sets will sound far superior, although admittedly won’t look as good hanging on the wall…
Greatest Hits and Acoustic Hits are issued as double black vinyl editions on 30 June 2017.
