ReplyDeleteAhhh this is a treat!
ReplyDeleteTa very much =)
Love the nostalgia, Craig. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDelete*sulks* I so could have played tambourine better than that girl on the Brisbane recording..
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo. : ) Love sharing all of this old stuff with everyone.
ReplyDeleteFun fun!
ReplyDeleteSo funny to hear RS talk about "the last tour". He's been saying it for how long now? I think he'll be 80 and still saying it!! (or at least I hope!)
ReplyDeletethanks for the treats craig!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Craig must have been doing some Spring cleaning and discovered some gems.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know if the greatest hits microsite is archived somewhere in whole? Or, Craig do you have the audio stuff found from it as well? Would be lovely to have it again...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know where the photo of Cure Town is? It looks alot like Tenby in Wales. Its near where I live btw. I cant tell cos its rotating so fast!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Craig. i thought there'd be already 100 comments!
ReplyDeleteTwo questions:
- can anyone tell me how to save these pages on my Mac?
- @ Craig, did you ask Roger if he still has the Curetown website somewhere?
thanks
awesome thanks Craig!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, guys. Glad you're enjoying them.
ReplyDeleteMelt05: Yeah, I have all of the tracks and photos from the Greatest Hits microsite. Will be posting them soon. : )
Fab G: Which pages are you trying to save? Don't have a Mac, but would think that a right click "Save as" on the link should work?
Haven't asked Roger about Curetown yet.
T.: If you right click on Loop, it will stop spinning. Maybe that will help?
cheddar gorge, indeed...
ReplyDeleteNice one Craig, that did work and yes it is Tenby in South West Wales. Cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Craig for this ( and all, of course ;)
ReplyDeleteI do really enjoy the sounds, images, videos, stories...from ten years ago
Wow, this reminds me i´m getting old :)
Thanks, hoping to see more .
P.S. This is great, no matter the lack of CURE´s news.
good man :)
ReplyDeleteThat live version of Friday I'm in Love is amazing
ReplyDeleteCraig,
ReplyDeleteI recently uploaded the old "Out Of This World" video to YouTube as well.
On the GH microsite, if you click on the red star at the bottom, it reads "THE BIG HITS COMPETITION WILL BE HERE SOON... "
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remeber what is was about, the question and prize?
oh, the page of the microsite doesn't show up properly to me (some images don't appear and are replaced by '?'), does it work fine to you?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me why it's not working properly for me?
I've got a Mac, and I have a few technical questions, if someone can take a moment to explain to me a few things I'd really paareciate.
"Just in case anyone wants these"
ReplyDelete:)
I miss the old cure house..
ReplyDeleteYou can still sort of visit all of the old Cure sites by visiting the Internet Wayback Machine. Many of the links and images no longer work, but it's better than nothing.
ReplyDeleteOh, man! Thanks so much, Craigers!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these treats Mr Craig. I especially enjoyed Pornography, but then I always do. Feeling thoroughly spoiled.
ReplyDeletethank you!!
ReplyDeleteI think you're missing a couple of files from your "Greatest Hits" mp3 page and I have some of the missing info.
ReplyDeleteWeren't there two additional mixes? "Wrong Number" (Crossed Line "Warm Vocal" Mix) and "Let's Go To Bed" (12 inch Duke Remix)
Some missing info: "High" demo is called "Anniversary", "Why Can't I Be You?" demo is called "Stolen Robin #1"
Also, I think "Signal To Noise (acoustic)" was somewhere on that site as well.
Craig has all 20 tracks if you hit the link at the top of the page.
ReplyDeleteI have them as "Let's Go To Bed (Duke Remix)" and "Wrong Number (16B Warm Vocal Remix)."
The acoustic version of Signal To Noise was on Amazon if I remember correctly. It must have been either WMA or Liquid Audio because I recall having to record the audio.
That version of "A Forest" is awesome! Can't get any rawer than that..
ReplyDeleteI love all the harmonics you hear weaving in and out of the song.. yes I'm a music geek *blushes*
Dear Craig!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the microsite stuff !!! a pity this website is closed...
best wishes
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhen I follow the link to where the tracks from the Cure Microsite are stored, I get the message:
"Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to drop.io"
Is the site down? I sure would love to hear these demos/mixes/live tracks!
Cheers,
George.
