First post in a long time, & SPOILER ALERT for anyone waiting to read the feature. . .
My DEK magazine arrived. I agree it was extortionately priced for a magazine but I really wanted to read the in depth WMS feature and to see what Robert thinks of it after all this time. The WMS feature is huge. Studio photos, detailed summary of the whole era, track by track thoughts by Robert, including what he would drop / add if he made the album again now.
He also mentions that a deluxe edition is planned, with around 7 tracks that have never seen the light of day for possible inclusion. Sounds great but given how long the supposedly finished Wish reissue is taking to release, it could still be some time away! He talks of including a second disc on the reissue, including different mixes and a revised running order, as he now finds some of the abrupt changes in tone between songs jarring.
Robert says he should have left off Return and Round & Round & Round, possibly Trap and maybe even The 13th. He wished he'd included Ocean & Adonais. As per the Join The Dots notes, he talks of his love for Adonais, here he even says that it's one of his all time favourite Cure songs and that he even wanted it on the album at the time, so he's not sure what happened in it not making it on! Anyone else read the feature yet?
