The Cure - Just One Kiss (Extended Mix)

My personal favorite song by The Cure, still unavailable on CD. This is the extended mix of "Just One Kiss" found on the 12" version of the "Let's Go To Bed" single (1982).

Remember the time that you rained all night
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank
But nobody opened their eyes

Remember the time that the trees fell down
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead
But nobody woke up at all

Somebody died for this
Somebody died
For just one kiss

Remember the time that the sky went black
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the taste of the raging sea
But nobody held out their hands

Somebody died for this
Somebody died
For just one kiss

Just one kiss
Just one kiss

Is this Legit? I think not. Heard the Lets go to Bed one as well....Curious if its not just a really good remix of the song...i mean, im lovin it... but it doesnt seem official..

@chipdandy I'm pretty sure it is, it's a rip from the 12" of LGTB, hence the compromised audio quality.

Excellent, thank you for posting. I haven't heard this in ages. I can still remember trying to mess my hair up just right and looking for the perfect black sweater to wear to school back then...

@chipdandy Completely legit...I have the vinyl.

@seerpent8 it was a mini-cassette, not that it was the small ones, but a short cassette - as opposed to a full album cassette.

[seerpent8]

it absolutely is the original long version! it's on the cassette "the walk" which is really no longer available, unless you find a used one from the 80's! this was always one ov my fav Cure tunes. the intro is so gorgeous!

@dvargashell Yes, Yes, Yes.

[dirkwearsws]

simply one of their best. amazing how some songs get overlooked - over time

[dvargashell]

robert smith, like morrisey, and bowie, helped me thru those solo sad times. now, lonliness seems right, or not lonliness, but solitude. take a veer here, do not merge.

This is the UK 12" version... Also the US cassette had this "extended" version. For years this was the only version I knew until I later got Japanese Whispers. I think this is the original mix and that the 4:09 minute one is an edit. I will eventually have to rip my LP version using my $3k turntable and into my 24bit/96k interface... My copy is pretty clean and I will run it through the Nitty Gritty RCM first... I'm once I go through al the trouble Fat Bob will release this in iTunes... ;)

LOVe it !

Yes, legit as others have said. I've got the vinyl 12" 6 cut mini LP (has a fly on the cover) with this, Sire/Fiction 1983. It's a release for "The Walk" single, also includes the upstairs room, the dream, la ment, let's go to bed. Never realized this was an extended version, first time I heard the short version I was WTF?!
