Comments
The cover of this disk has a recent pic of the group plus a pic of Bob in "blacklight makeup". Tracks 13-22 are the same as on Imaginary Songs Track 1 is sometimes called "soundcheck", track 2 is dedicated to Ian Curtis (with different lyrics). Track 4 is the "yellow" version of Primary.

The sound quality is good to fair. Since there are several different shows on this disk, that's to be expected I guess. This disk is good more for content than sound quality. There are some good versions of different songs here (A Forest, M, etc.).

This is just an outstanding record. If you love the Cure's early music, then you simply must own this CD. It is superb! Only one minor criticism: Killing an Arab fades out a little early. But that's nothing; you will enjoy this disc.

My friend gave me a copy of this. It is actually a very good quality bootleg considering how old it is. The title track is unfortunately an instrumental sound check, and there are only two songs from the Faith album, while the rest are from the first two albums. If you REALLY like the older stuff from this era, buy it as it is good quality. Personally, I say go find the later stuff that focuses more on the later albums (Faith - ....... )

The only one Bootleg! The first 7 songs are played in a very punk manner and very sad. Killing an Arab and Boys Don't Cry (the only interesting version of this song) are marvelous!

This bootleg is an absolute "must-have" when you like the early period of The Cure. It covers most of Boys don't cry and Seventeen seconds. The failrly poor sound quality is compensated by the fab artistic quality. (by the way: it's "Apeldoorn" and "Melkweg")
