Three-Disc Deluxe Edition Produced & Compiled by Robert Smith, Including a Remastered Version of the Original Album, plus Unreleased Songs, Demos, Out-takes and Live Performances.
The Cure’s eighth studio album, released in 1989, is the dark tour de force Disintegration.
Following on from 1987's outstanding Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me release, and spurred by the hits “Lullaby”, “Fascination Street“, “Lovesong” and “Pictures Of You”, the album quickly became the group’s most successful yet, with sales topping more than 3 million, as the band sold out stadiums and arenas around the world.
Polydor/Universal (ROW) and Rhino/WMG (North America) reissue this landmark album, remastering the original, adding a disc of unreleased out-takes and demos, plus a third disc that contains a live performance of the entire album recorded in 1989 over 3 nights at Wembley Arena, London, the European climax of the The Cure's global ‘Prayer Tour‘. This Deluxe Edition comes with a 20 page booklet containing previously unseen pictures and art, as well as lyrics and an in depth overview of the period by the band's founder Robert Smith.
Robert Smith compiled, produced, and supervised the mastering of this three-disc collection, which covers the evolution of Disintegration, from demos and rehearsals to studio and stage. The first disc contains newly remastered versions of the album’s original 12 tracks.
Gathering 20 unreleased tracks, the second disc trawls through Smith’s home recordings to find early instrumental demos of fan favourites “Pictures Of You”, “Prayers For Rain” and “Fascination Street.” The Cure can be heard rehearsing and arranging various instrumental versions, including ”Homesick”, “Closedown” and “The Same Deep Water As You”, as well as playing studio out-takes of several other tracks, including “Plainsong”. The disc also contains four unreleased songs: “Noheart”, “Esten”, “Delirious Night” and a cover of Judy Collins’ “Pirate Ships”, the latter a solo performance by Smith that was recorded for, but ultimately not included on, Rubáiyát, a 1990 album celebrating Elektra Records’ 40th anniversary.
For the final disc, Smith remixes and expands Entreat, a live album recorded in 1989 at Wembley Arena. Entreat Plus combines the original’s eight tracks, remixed with the four 'missing' songs to create a complete contemporary live version of Disintegration.
The complete 12 song Disintegration album is also available for the first time on vinyl as a remastered 2 disc release with lyric bags.
Comments Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai: “Disintegration by The Cure is one of the greatest records of all time. It has the feel that only a tiny amount of albums have, that it exists completely in its own universe, immune to context or fashion. I literally cannot imagine the band members in a room playing these songs for the first time, its as if they've always been there. From stunning opener “Plainsong” through to “Untitled”, it is unrelentingly beautiful and achingly sad. Disintegration is a simply wonderful record.”

Listning to Same Deep Water As You loud on the new re-mastered issue is just like heaven. Pun in intended. Superb job by Bob.
Next deluxe release - how about Blu-ray?
Come on, the 16-bit CD format is tired and dying. Give us Wish on Blu-ray with a 5.1 surround mix and stereo mix all in 24-bit/192kHz high resolution. PLEASE! People want more out of reissues, CD just doesn't deliver. Please give Disintegration the Blu-ray treatment also.

Disintegration Booklet Issue
I just picked up my copy of the Distintegration Re-issue (AWESOME!) and was sad to find out that my booklet has some issues. It looks like some of the pages were mis-aligned, resulting in me losing some of the liner notes and lyrics. The lyrics I don't care too much about, as I know most of them by heart anyway, but I was looking forward to being able to read the liner notes. Does anyone know who I might be able to contact for a replacement? Thanks.
so good
robert, you did a stunning job with this rip. don't worry, i have it "turned up" and am playing it "loud." my neighbors are probably pi$$ed...but f$ck them. my new favorite box set.
