"The versions of classic Cure material found here seem much cleaner and somehow more heartfelt than those on "Three Imaginary Boys". "Killing An Arab" is great, probably the best version I've heard."

The Cure, stripped down and pure, in this John Peel Session

"Virtually every artist to lay down tracks in Peel Sessions succeeds in bringing together a concise vocabulary of their work at a given point in time. Usually the time that John Peel records his select groups, that group is doing its finest works in progress. The Cure session is no different than the rest. Armed with only four tracks, and not even with Boys Don't Cry (the group's first big single), The Cure rip through the set with precision rhythm and a deft ska-punk mentality which made them stars in the early game. This album is a must-have !!!"
