"Other Voices" (Smith, Tolhurst, Gallup) – 4:26."Primary" (Smith, Tolhurst, Gallup) – 3:33."Play for Today" (Smith, Tolhurst, Gallup, Hartley) – 3:42."A Forest" (Smith, Tolhurst, Gallup, Hartley) – 4:53."Jumping Someone Else's Train" (Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey) – 2:57."Boys Don't Cry" (Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey) – 2:35." 10:15 Saturday Night" (Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey) – 3:37."Killing an Arab" (Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey) – 2:22. According to the band's 2005 biography by Jeff Apter, when asked why he agreed to lend his face to the band's media, Button's answer was, "If I can help these youngsters break through, after all, why not?" He also reportedly said that he would buy a record player and listen to one of the band's songs "out of curiosity, just to see". He also appeared in the music video for "Killing an Arab". His name is John Button, and was at the time a retired fisherman. The man featured on the album cover was not a member of the Cure he was chosen because his appearance fit the desired aesthetic of the album. The album has been certified 2× platinum in the US.Īlso missing is the special "Lament" Flexipop single from 1982, as this was not a proper single, and " I'm a Cult Hero" from 1979, probably because it was released under a different band name ( Cult Hero). These releases were accompanied by a VHS and laserdisc release, a music video collection titled Staring at the Sea: The Images with the same setlist as the CD version of the album.Īll the B-sides on the cassette edition were also later released on the first disc of the Join the Dots compilation in 2004. Pink Eyes" from the 12" version of "The Lovecats" was omitted from Japanese Whispers, and so was included on this release. This excludes "10:15 Saturday Night" from the " Killing an Arab" single, which was released on the Three Imaginary Boys album, "Plastic Passion" from the "Boys Don't Cry" single, which was released on the Boys Don't Cry album, and the five B-sides from the " Let's Go to Bed", " The Walk" and " The Love Cats" singles, which were released on the Japanese Whispers compilation album. The cassette edition features the same tracks as the vinyl edition, but also contains all of the band's B-sides that had not, to that point, received a long-play release. The four songs, although not released as singles, all had music videos made for them. The CD edition features the same tracks as the vinyl edition, but also includes an extra track from four of the band's albums. " 10:15 Saturday Night" was dropped though, possibly because it was only released in France. The vinyl edition is a collection of all 13 of The Cure's commercially released singles up to that point in chronological order. The album was released in six formats: vinyl record, compact disc, audio cassette, laser disc (US and Japan only), CD Video (China only) and VHD (Japan only).
