MUSIC: More 2-Disc Reissues From The Cure In April

[shivvy]

At the end of 2004, Rhino Records remastered and reissued the 1979 debut disc from The Cure ("Three Imaginary Boys") in a 2-disc set. Similar 2-disc collections are being completed for 1980's "Seventeen Seconds", 1981's "Faith", and 1982's "Pornography". All of these deluxe editions have been compiled by Robert Smith and digitally remastered. The bonus discs on all three titles will be packed with liner notes from the band and many songs that have never been released.

All three of these collections will hit stores in North America on April 26th.
The full tracklistings are included below, taken from the official website at www.thecure.com:
