The Cure / Songs of a Live World

Live version of the best-selling studio album

By Paul Sinclair

The Cure’s new album, Songs of a Lost World, is set for a live release called Songs of a Live World Troxy London MMXXIV.

Released at the start of November, Songs of a Lost World is the band’s first album in 16 years, and their first number one album in the UK since 1992’s Wish. On the day of release, The Cure performed the album in full at London’s Troxy venue, and it’s this live performance which makes up Songs of a Live World. Whilst the performance on the night also saw The Cure play a number of hits and fan favourites, Songs of a Live World is limited to the tracks from the new album.

Songs of a Live World is released in a variety of formats. ‘Live album-only’ options are available on CD, vinyl LP and cassette, while 2LP clear vinyl, double cassette and 2CD sets, pair the studio album with the live performance.

To complicate matters further, Songs of a Lost World itself is reissued in two ‘Blood Red Moon’ vinyl editions: A single red vinyl (album only) and a 2LP red vinyl set, which features an instrumental version of the album for the first time on vinyl (these instrumentals were previously included on the 2CD+blu-ray deluxe).

The band will also be donating all royalties from this release to the charity War Child which is obviously a good cause. The 2LP vinyl is actually on Amazon now, when previously these were only available via The Cure’s online shop if you wish to purchase.

Songs of a Live World Troxy MMXXIV will be released on CD on 13 December 2024 via Polydor/Fiction. The vinyl version follows in February next year.
