This question is a lot tougher than it first sounds.
BDC has Plastic Passion & Jumping Someone Else's Train which are both staggeringly brilliant.
It also (well, the vinyl does) has World War, which is a total sleaze fest.
Gonna have to take my time on this one (a good excuse for listening to both again)

btw. I liked the colour coding on the titles praise2

Oh, also you forgot KAA on BDC.... which is one of the songs that makes me feel like loving the Cure was fate.

And we had that hoover when I was a kid!

Ditching that version of Foxy Lady made it worth it alone , but with the addition of BDC, KAA, and JSET....amazing. Go on, kill me for loving singles.

My vote could be different if the tracklists in the question were the ones from the original LP, not those of the cd versions.

TIB contains one of The Cure's worst song in my opinion, which is 'so what?'.

Which they have decided to put on BDC cd version. Speak about shooting yourself in the foot.

BDC cd is ruined by not offering the original LP tracklist. When i listen to my homemade cd, i find it great.

Also while i like the thin logo, I have always regretted that BDC didn't offer an original artwork cover.

Of course Boys Don't Cry is kind of mature compilation in comparison with Three Imaginary Boys. In general that is all star repertoire of The Cure 1978-79. Interesting how I was confronted with Boys Don't Cry first. Perhaps that's why I will stick with that.

I love BDC and don't actually own TIB, I feel a lot of the best songs from TIB are on BDC and with the nice additions of the singles

Now that I think of it I don't own TIB on vinyl just BDC and that's okay

The better songs of TIB are on there plus the singles which are quite good. Like steve I prefer the vinyl version over the CD version due to "World War".
