Paris

Out of print in the U.S. UK pressing of this 1993 live album from the British Post-Punk icons. Paris showcases the darker moodier side of The Cure, favoring extended explorations of some of The Cure's most difficult material. With three tracks from Seventeen Seconds ("At Night", "In Your House", "Play for Today") and two from Pornography ("The Figurehead", "One Hundred Years") and the presence of only two semi-hits ("Charlotte Sometimes", "Love Song"), Paris is clearly a treat for the long-time fan. However newcomers should also be welcome to dive into the deep end as well. The Cure has always been more accessible than naysayers would admit and the bouncy lively "Catch" will satisfy both the diehards and the casual listeners.
