Notes

Sleeve has a pattern in the surface gloss which resembles shattered glass when light reflects off of it.

This version was pressed at Allied Record Company as evidenced by no E A S T in the B-side pressing ring—but an A stamped at the midpoint of the A-side pressing ring—and SP-AR in the runouts. These indicate the plating was done at Specialty and the pressing was performed by Allied.

Catalog number 60855-1 on labels and inner sleeve, 9 60855-1 on spine.

    The best I have ever heard this masterpiece. It sucks that it’s missing songs but well worth it for the way this sounds. I really can’t put into words how good it is. If you truly love this album this is the way to go.

      My copy of this has has the "variant 4" runout listed above (which happens to be the exact same runout as this coveted copy -> The Cure - Disintegration) but it is strangely missing the E A S T Pressing Plant ID supposedly associated with this entry... ? Maybe a weird combination of the two releases? Anyway, it sounds incredible!

        I got an original Elektra copy ad a gift. This is my best sounding vinyl on my collection so far. Little to no surface noise and the vocals are crisp and clear. If you ever find a copy of the original release and you are The Cure fan youll be having eargasms like lots.
