Coming into the music world at a time when \u003cstrong\u003eBowie\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRoxy Music\u003c\/strong\u003e reigned supreme (for the music nerds) and punk had basically been born that summer the boys sounded fresh and didn't quite fit with the times. Fast forward to 1979 and the band releases their debut. Not too abrasive, not quite goth yet, nowhere near as epic as their later output, but still clearly onto something and catchy as hell. \u003cem\u003eThree Imaginary Boys\u003c\/em\u003e was released by the label with very little input from the band subsequently upsetting \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e and company as they weren't impressed with the song choices as well as the artwork. The album was to be released in the US at a later time with a different title, \u003cem\u003eBoys Don't Cry\u003c\/em\u003e, and different track list adding and subtracting songs. This is the original UK version as the label released the album with the weird cover of \u003cstrong\u003eJimi Hendrix\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cem\u003eFoxy Lady\u003c\/em\u003e, their incredible number 'Fire In Cairo' and of course the deadly opener '10:15 Saturday Night'. This reissue comes on 180g heavyweight vinyl and has been remastered by Robert Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremastered by Robert Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Fiction Records 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Meme Gene Okerlund 03\/2015\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"The Cure","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":27949119624,"sku":"lp-7988","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/cure-threeimaginaryboys-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1758051264","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/the-cure-three-imaginary-boys-domestic-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
