Does anyone know if it's possible to buy official versions of the three extended mixes that are mentioned in the liner notes of the Mixed Up Deluxe, but are not included in the release?
This is a snip of the text from Robert:
"The three that "got away" (albeit available in digital format) are PRIMARY (Extended Mix 1981 - REMASTERED 2018)...THE LOVECATS (Extended version 1983 - REMASTERED 2018)... and INBETWEEN DAYS (Extended Version 1985 - REMASTERED 2018)..."
From what I have seen he's talking about the tracks from these:
I have looked and found them exactly nowhere, they are only available in Robert's pocket universe so far.
I discovered that Mixed up is available in 24 bit resolution in the US though which is deeply unfair.
Oh dear, perhaps you can hit up one of our USA based members to see if they can help you get said Bit version…
or is the unfairness you’re lamenting that this and no other album is available in 24 bit?
Yeah, who is a US resident?
Both of these vectors cross over into unfair.
Got the WMS 24-bit files with the RSD picture disc, so that's something. Sounded really nice. Sadly that didn't mean that the weak tracks suddenly weren't, quite the opposite. Ho hum.

Maybe put a request in the Request section, see if some kind soul in the USA will help you out. I'm more than sure that at least one of our members is MURICAN.
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!

you know, I really tire of incompetence, or generally not giving a carp, or people being bad at their jobs, or apathetic, or annoyed when a question comes in, or just generally being rubbish...
Here's my interaction thus far with the organ donor from Sector 7G at Universal.
My email to them via a contact form:
In the liner notes of The Cure's Mixed Up - Deluxe, Robert Smith writes about three tracks that aren't on the release:
"The three that "got away" (albeit available in digital format) are PRIMARY (Extended Mix 1981 - REMASTERED 2018)...THE LOVECATS (Extended version 1983 - REMASTERED 2018)... and INBETWEEN DAYS (Extended Version 1985 - REMASTERED 2018)..."
Can you advise where these tracks can be purchased from please?
The reply from the Universal Customer Services team member:
If there is another mix of the tracks that you are looking for then I can only advise that you have a look online for them - store.universalmusic.com/thecure/*/Music/
I do apologise for the inconvenience.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to drop me a message – I’m more than happy to help.
Many thanks,

My reply:
Hi Sev,
Come on man, do better. Read my email properly. I clearly stated that the liner notes from Mixed Up Deluxe say that there are three remixes (yes of some of the songs that appear on the deluxe edition of Mixed Up, but are different remixes to these ones on Mixed Up Deluxe), that I'm enquiring about.
Again, these are 1) PRIMARY (Extended Mix 1981 - REMASTERED 2018) 2) THE LOVECATS (Extended version 1983 - REMASTERED 2018) and 3) INBETWEEN DAYS (Extended Version 1985 - REMASTERED 2018).
These three remixes are not available on the Universal site you emailed me, nor are they on The Cure's official site.
These do NOT appear on the Mixed Up Deluxe edition. I can see this by looking at my copy, and reading the liner notes that I quoted originally.
The versions of these tracks that appear on the link you sent me are
a) Primary (Red Mix 1990 - 2018 remaster) b) The Lovecats (TC & Benny Mix 1990 - 2018 remaster) c) Inbetween Days – Shiver Mix – 2018 remaster
Are the three tracks I am enquiring about not available anywhere? Contrary to Robert Smith's note in the liner notes?
