Following our report this past weekend, It has now been officially confirmed via the unveiling of the official Record Store Day 2018 list today that The Cure are indeed releasing a companion to their 2LP vinyl reissue of 1990’s Mixed Up in the 2LP picture disc Torn Down: Mixed Up Extras 2018.
The compilation features a selection of 16 tracks mixed by Robert Smith, and listed in chronological order of their original release.
Each of the 4 sides to the two disc set feature songs from every Cure album up until 4:13 Dream—with the exception of Just One Kiss, Never Enough, and Cut Here, all three being featured as compilation tracks.
Just One Kiss was originally a b-side to Let’s Go to Bed, and was released later on the compilation Japanese Whispers, Never Enough was released as a single featured on Mixed Up, and Cut Here was a new song featured on The Cure’s Greatest Hits.
