Release date: 28-05-2007 (reissue from 1979 album) 2007 UK limited edition 13-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL, the astonishing debut from Robert Smith & Co., originally released in 1979, offering a stripped-down minimalist slice of spiky post-punk, including the classics '10.15 Saturday Night' and 'Fire In Cairo', presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve with repro inner sleeve. Tracks: 01. 10:15 Saturday Night 02. Accuracy 03. Grinding Halt 04. Another Day 05. Object 06. Subway Song 07. Foxy Lady (Hendrix) 08. Meathook 09. So What 10. Fire in Cairo 11. It's Not You 12. Three Imaginary Boys An interesting fact about this album is that it contains the only Cure song that is not sung by Smith. The Jimi Hendrix song, "Foxy Lady" which is covered on this album, is actually sung by Michael Dempsey, the bass player at the time. The track, a soundcheck, was not supposed to be on the album and was removed for the American release. The record company decided which songs were put on the album, as well as the cover artwork, without Robert Smith's consent. For all Cure albums since, Smith has ensured he is given complete creative control over the final product before it goes on sale.
