About
The Cure – BBC Sessions 1981–1985
Limited Edition Vinyl – Includes John Peel & Richard Skinner Sessions

This essential release compiles The Cure’s legendary BBC recordings from 1981 to 1985, featuring sessions hosted by John Peel and Richard Skinner. Captured during a pivotal period in the band’s evolution, these recordings showcase raw, emotionally intense performances with a darker edge and stripped-down energy.

Hear powerful live-in-studio versions of classics from albums like Faith, Pornography, and The Head on the Door, including “Charlotte Sometimes,” “A Forest,” “Siamese Twins,” and “In Between Days.” These sessions highlight The Cure’s post-punk roots and their shift toward more atmospheric, melodic sounds.

Pressed on high-quality vinyl, this limited edition captures a unique moment in time, where studio polish was traded for raw presence and urgency. A must-have for collectors and fans of The Cure’s early and most influential years.
