The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry

Description

The Cure are to release the 1986 mix of Boys Dont Cry, making it available digitally for the first time ever in line with its 40th Anniversary. Initially released as a standalone single in the summer of 1979, Boys Dont Cry became the title track of the US edition of the bands debut album, Three Imaginary Boys.

The song went on to become one of the bands signature tracks and achieved international success in 1986, when Robert Smith re-recorded the vocal and remixed the backing track. Although this new version was created to promote the best of collection Standing on a Beach The Singles, the LP itself featured the original recording, and the 7-inch version of Boys Dont Cry (New Voice New Mix), now retitled Boys Dont Cry (86 Mix), is being released on vinyl for the first time in 40 years.

Boys Dont Cry (86 Mix), the 12 mix, and the B-Sides, Plastic Passion, Pillbox Tales, and Do The Hansa have been remastered by Matt Colton.
