VA - The Many Faces Of The Cure: A Journey Through The Inner World Of The Cure (3 CD Box Set) (2016)

Three CD set. Without a doubt, The Cure is one of the most essential bands from the '80s with an iconic image that is on par with superstars of that time such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and Boy George. Surging as part of the post punk and dark-rock movement, The Cure and especially their leader, Robert Smith, had the cunning ability to create -within their large catalog- multiple hit songs that have become absolute pop classics, without compromising their credibility. The Many Faces Of The Cure showcases the parallel paths of the band members, some of Robert Smith collaborations with other artists, the mostly unknown post-Cure projects by the band's drummer/keyboardist Lol Tolhurst and by bassist Simon Gallup and of course, their songs, both performed by the band itself and by a large number of artists who have respectfully created fantastic new versions. With expanded liner notes, a luxurious cover art and remastered sound, The Many Faces Of The Cure is an album that every fan needs to add to their record collection.
