@VacLateralus they were Unavailable on the CD's and the LP's, you could only get the B sides of their Greatest Hits on the tape..No not the 8 track even. SO those are the facts, I know since I blew thru that Album "Staring at the Sea" while commuting to the Beach that whole year.

Something you just can't dislike:)

0 dislikes fuck yeah

@VacLateralus They weren't available THEN. Good luck for finding a '79 or '80 single in '86. Not everything was available right away like now. And this kind of compilation, gathering all b-sides in one place, was a treat then.

I wonder if the sax player is the same person on A Night Like This. And I wonder if he's a relative of James King (M83 Midnight City, which reminds me of ANLT, for about 7 seconds).

"Unavailable" usually meant unavailable previously on this format (cassette), unreleased on that record label in that country, and/or out of print.

Every time I hear this song it sounds better. Definitely in my Cure top 10 faves of all time.

So sad this wasn't on The Head on the Door. It should have been a single.
Best Cure era produces an excellent B side.
