The Cure have announced the long-awaited reissue of their 1992 album, Wish. Remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Robert Smith and Miles Showell, the album will be appended with dozens of bonus tracks including 24 that have not officially been released, four of which are full demos from 1990. The rest are mostly instrumental demoes like “Miss van Gogh” and “Now Is the Time”; the Lost Wishes EP had been available only as a mail-order cassette and will come to CD and streaming for the first time. The set is out on 3xCD, double LP, single CD, and digitally on October 7. Check out the full tracklist of the 3xCD set below, along with the Dim-D mix of “Uyea Sound.”
The tracklist also includes the unreleased Partscheckruf mix of “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea” and a live version of “End” recorded in Paris in 1992. It’s out via UMC, Fiction, and Polydor. Read Pitchfork’s Sunday Review of Wish.
