With fans buying this picture disc and others, it doesn't give the cure any incentive to ever release new songs when they can endlessly flog poor quality picture discs, calendars and dodgy clothing for the next 20 years.
Every year is the special anniversary of some albums. 2021...40th anniversary of Faith, 25th anniversary of WMS 2022...30th anniversary of Wish, 40th anniversary of Porn, 35th anniversary of KMKMKM
25th WMS, 40th Faith picture discs
It's almost like I'm psychic....or the cure are very predictable with milking back catalogue.
I bought a copy of the JW picture disc & enjoyed giving it a couple of spins. The download code inside gives you access to some 4416 & 4424 mastered files -- I'm not an audiophile so i had to google to find out what those even are!
That said, my old Technics stereo system gives some real depth, especially Just One Kiss. Hearing Lament brought back happy memories of Crystal Palace Bowl. It brightened my day hearing them (i know that's a bit sad but it's been a hard year innit, and it keeps getting harder)
I want the new stuff too, but i understand they'll want to tour the heck out of it, so it's a nostaglia fest until then. I'll probably stump up the £ for the Faith picture disc... and then the Pornography one next year, ha ha AAAARGH.
I have my original copies of each album and I’m content with that. (If I bought another copy of an album I had already owned it would be because the original copy was somehow damaged). I see no purpose in owning slightly different versions of the same thing, but perhaps I’m just an oddball. I’ll admit though that I am not at all a collector of anything really. Is this specific item intended to be a collectors’ piece ? If so, I suppose it could be displayed nicely in someone’s home ? That could be nice...
