The Cure's Boys Don't Cry returns in its 1986 guise on this remastered CD edition single, gathering five tracks of new-wave heartbreak. It is a small package with a lot of history packed inside.
The song first appeared in 1979, a jangling, wiry pop gem about pretending not to care. Seven years later, with the band's star rising, Robert Smith re-recorded the vocal and remixed the track to promote the singles compilation Standing On A Beach. That newer version has rarely been reissued since, which makes this CD a welcome arrival for collectors.
The 86 Mix keeps the bright, brittle guitar line that made the original so instantly memorable, but Smith's matured vocal adds a knowing ache. The 86 12" Mix stretches things out for a fuller, more spacious take. Plastic Passion appears in its 1979 mix, all nervy energy, while Pillbox Tales and Do The Hansa dig up rarer corners of the early catalogue in their 1986 mixes.
Every track has been freshly remastered, giving the early Cure sound real clarity without sanding off its edges.
For fans who know the song by heart, this offers a different angle on an old favourite. It is a neat way to hear the past and the band's growth in one sitting.
