I didn't get this rarities album when it came out but it  gives me an excuse to re-visit 1985 and a favourite album  'In Between Days

On this day in music history: January 27, 2004 - “Join The Dots: B-sides & Rarities 1978 -2001 (The Fiction Years)” by The Cure is released (UK release is on January 26, 2004). Produced by The Cure, Robert Smith, Chris Parry, Phil Thornalley, Dave M. Allen, Steve Nye, Mike Hedges and Paul Corkett, it is recorded at Various Studios from 1978 - 2001. The seventy track, four CD box set is a compilation of non-LP B-sides, other rare tracks and previously unreleased remixes by the band recorded between 1978 and 2001. The set also includes a booklet featuring commentary on each track by band leader Robert Smith as well as an overview of the band’s history up until the time of the compilations’ release. “Join The Dots: B-sides & Rarities 1978 - 2001 (The Fiction Years)” peaks at number ninety eight on the UK album chart and number one hundred six on the Billboard Top 200.

Loved In Between Days . . . .fine fine album and the titular track is classic Cure, the wobble on the instruments in this track, The Exploding Boy, is really haunting/disturbing/distressing . . . . . . . I love it!

Another from the sounds purchased when they came out and I bought the single of this again from the ex-jukebox vinyl bargain bins but it was never off the turntable back in those days . . . . . 

On this day in music history: August 26, 1985 - “The Head On the Door”, the sixth album by The Cure is released. Produced by Robert Smith and Dave Allen, it is recorded at Angel Studios in London from Early - Mid 1985. Following the UK success of their previous album “The Top”, Cure leader Robert Smith, continue to expand the bands more pop based sound (but maintaining their characteristic dark edge) begun on the previous effort with their next release. “Door” is the first to introduce new members Boris Williams (drums) and Porl Thompson (guitar, keyboards) and marks the return of bassist Simon Gallup to the band. The album is a pivotal release in the bands career as it is their first release to receive significant support in the US from both college radio and the burgeoning commercial Modern Rock radio format, as well as video outlets like MTV which increases the bands fan base beyond its small but loyal cult following. It spins off two hit singles including “In Between Days” (#99 US Pop, #15 UK) and “Close To Me” (#13 UK). In 2006, a two CD Deluxe Edition album is released. The first disc is a remastered version of the original album, with the second disc featuring Robert Smith’s original instrumental demo recordings, early band demos, and three live bootleg tracks recorded in Paris in December of 1985.  "The Head On The Door" peaks at number fifty nine on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified Gold in the by the RIAA.
