Cure, The - Boys Don't Cry

The Cure's first release in North America. Released in February 1980, this album combines eight tracks from the band's May 1979 debut album [url=http://www.discogs.com/Cure-Three-Imaginary-Boys/master/20319]Three Imaginary Boys[/url] (which was not released in the US at the time) with new material from the 1978-1979 era. Do not confuse with this debut album: even though this issue features many songs from that album, they are different records with divergent track lists. Four tracks from "Three Imaginary Boys" were omitted: "Foxy Lady", "Meathook", "So What?" and "It's Not You" (plus the hidden track "The Weedy Burton"). They were replaced by excerpts from the first three singles : "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Cure-Killing-An-Arab/master/21070]Killing An Arab[/url]", "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Cure-Boys-Dont-Cry/master/20330]Boys Don't Cry[/url]" (+ B-side "Plastic Passion") and "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Cure-Jumping-Someone-Elses-Train/master/341264]Jumping Someone Else's Tra
