Galore picks up where the Cure's first singles collection left off, gathering a decade of their 45s on one CD edition, from the bright pop of the late 1980s to the moodier corners of the 1990s.

Released in 1997, it covers the stretch from Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me through Wild Mood Swings, the years when Robert Smith's band went from cult heroes to stadium headliners without ever quite losing their strangeness. Smith insisted on a set that faced forward rather than repeating older favourites, and the result is a sharp portrait of the band at its commercial peak.

"Just Like Heaven" is the shimmering centrepiece, a near-perfect pop song that still sounds like falling in love on a windswept beach. "Lovesong" brings the brooding romance of Disintegration, while "Friday I'm in Love" is pure sugar, as giddy as anything Smith ever wrote. The collection closes with "Wrong Number," a new song at the time, all clattering guitars and nervy energy.

Eighteen tracks in all, with barely a weak moment along the way.

Whether you lean toward the gloomy or the gleeful Cure, both are here in full. It's an ideal companion to Standing on a Beach and a great entry point for anyone just starting out.
