'The Head on the Door' saw The Cure perfectly marrying a multitude of diverse musical influences to prduce a work of breathtaking energy and pop sensibility.
The album gave The Cure their biggest hits to date in the form of "In Between Days" and "Close To Me", revealing their lighter side in the accompanying videos, daubing themselves in ultra violent paint before flying off Beachy Head clifftop in a wardrobe!
A key era in the development of The Cure, 1984-1987 saw Robert Smith coming into his own as he pushed the creative boundaries of his band. The Cure's music from the time is truly essential listening, and these lavish Deluxe editions provide a unique insight into that amazing period.
