Wiry, odd and full of nervous energy, The Cure's Three Imaginary Boys is the 1979 debut where it all began, presented here as a Holland import CD.
Before the eyeliner and the cathedral-sized gloom, The Cure were a trio from Crawley playing sharp, minimal post-punk. Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst cut the album quickly for Fiction Records, with label boss Chris Parry producing. Smith later grumbled that he had too little control over the result, yet its brittle, stripped-down sound has aged remarkably well.
10:15 Saturday Night sets the tone with its dripping tap, spare guitar and a bored, lonely weekend captured in a few lines. Accuracy is tight and twitchy, while Grinding Halt rattles along on a stop-start riff that shows how much the band could do with very little. Fire in Cairo adds a catchy, almost pop melody, hinting at the hit-making instincts Smith would reveal later.
There is even a jagged, slowed-down take on Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady, sung by Dempsey. Three Imaginary Boys is the sound of a young band figuring itself out in real time, and for fans who know only the later classics, it is a fascinating, often thrilling look at the very first chapter.
