Q: How do you stop a rhino from charging?
A: Take away his credit card!
Q: How do you stop Rhino from reissuing Cure albums and causing you to max out your credit cards?
A: You don't!
Rhino Records has just announced the latest round of remastered Cure and Cure-related reissues, all dolled up in hyper-deluxe two-disc packages with fancy-schmancy booklets and more bonus demos than Robert Smith has had bad hair days.
The latest round-up arrives August 8 and includes Cure albums nos. five, six, and seven-- The Top (1984), The Head on the Door (1985), and Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (1987)-- as well as 1983's Blue Sunshine, the lone record by the Glove, the side project of Smith and Siouxsie & the Banshees bassist Steve Severin. Mega-hits and fan favorites like "In Between Days", "Why Can't I Be You?", "Just Like Heaven", and "Close to Me" were spawned during this storied era in Cure history.
As you may recall, last year Rhino graced us with expanded, remastered reissues of Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and the much-loved Pornography. At this rate we can expect a d-lux remaster of that lukewarm 2004 self-titled record by 2008. Oh boy.

I have the previous reissues and they are very cool and I am looking forward to these. Depeche Mode are also in the reissue spirit and I think a handful of their early recordings were released today. Most of the b-sides on the reissues can be found on "Join The Dots" box set but you also get the better sound that comes with these.
