The Cure - Peel Sessions (1988)

Another of my many favorite Peel Sessions discs right here. At the height of their particular powers as well. Although short at only 4 songs and leaves you wanting more - but that IS the point, isn't it? What I most appreciate about the Peel Sessions discs is their ability to serve as a seperate entity from whatever album or tour or whatever else was going on with a certain artist or band. Here we have these songs as they were first performed and they sound fresh and vital even with the passage of (yikes!) 18 years and aren't full of the world-weariness that they play these songs with now. Just give a listen and you, too may also learn to prefer these great versions over the album tracks. Just maybe.
