Cure in Sept. Record Collector

Record Collector will be running a Cure feature in next month's issue, which will be on sale June 19th. (Thanks Lars)

Update (06/18/14): From Record Collector on Facebook: "Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances - the upcoming CURE feature previously advertised will now run at a later date."

Update (07/14/14): "Just got the new July Record Collector (UK). There is an ad for the August edition, on sale Aug 14 in UK, and it says, “Next Month in Record Collector: The Cure (Honest!)”  (Thanks artwwweb)

Update (08/05/14): Here's the cover. Unfortunately, it's just an "Early Years" article, nothing new.

Update (08/12/14): From artwwweb - "10 page article, inc. listings of UK collectables 1978-1982, Top 11 Memorabilia and Top 21 Worldwide Rarities." 

Update (08/14/14): Out today in shops & online, or buy a digital copy on iTunes. Subscribers can read the article here

  1. Craig, do you have any idea what the "unforeseen circumstances" may be?

    1. Nope. Could be anything. Editorial decision to run something else, problem getting the article finished on time, or even wanting to put it out when/if 4:14 gets released.

  2. Maybe they're ready to announce a new album?

    1. RC is a predominantly historical magazine, all about back catalogues, reissues and valuations.

      They are highly unlikely to have an exclusive on a new album, they never do in fact.

    2. But the "new" record (4.14 scream) is back catalogue record... ;-)

  3. Just to clear this up, it will be the September issue on sale 14th of August, NOT the August issue (431).

  4. I wasn't thinking anything about a new album would be mentioned in the article, but I am starting to doubt we'll be seeing 4:14 any time soon, if at all.

    :(

  5. I am NOT a fan of saying THE EARLY YEARS and using this photo of the cover.. Perhaps there will be older images inside.. Fingers crossed...

    1. Is that a Wish era photo? I guess that is early years now, being over 22 years ago!

  6. The first 'Early Years' Record Collector article on The Cure was #167 July 1993. Wonder how the prices will have changed since then (All prices are for MINT):

    Killing An Arab SMALL 11 £18
    Killing An Arab FICS 001 £12
    Boys Don't Cry FICS 002 £14
    Jumping Someone Else's Train £18
    A Forest FICS 10 (Pic sleeve/Radiophonic) £12/£8
    A Forest FICSX 10 £25

    Cult Hero FIC 006 £45

    Will they list my 12" green vinyl Australian import of 'A Forest'? Could be worth a few quid by now :D

  7. Tried posting this three times now....apologies if it's showing three times but it isn't here

    anyway just to say I saw this in my local indie record store today (a day early?) but was in a rush so didn't flick through or buy it. Will go back tomorrow and see if it's any good.
    I'm interested in the prices too as I'm wondering if my Lost wishes cassette has increased in price.....

  8. so what ever happened to this post Robert made in march:


    AND MY PLAN THIS SUNNY SPRING MONDAY AT THE END OF MARCH IS TO GET TO THE POINT IN THE NEXT MONTH OR THREE WHERE WE CAN RELEASE:

    LIKE 'LIVE IN PARIS 2008' AND 'REFLECTIONS 2011' AND 'SUMMERCURE 2012' AND 'LATAM 2013' (AND 'RAH TCT 2014'?!!)

    …AND CREATE SOME NEW NEW MUSIC WITH THIS CURRENT CURE LINEUP...


    1)A LTD EDITION '4:26 DREAM' DOUBLE CD ALBUM OF 26 SONGS (ALL REMIXED) - IE. 'THE ORIGINAL 4:13 DREAM SESSIONS CONCEPT ALBUM' (INCLUDING THE 'INSTRUMENTALS WITH WORDS') - OF WHICH 10 TRACKS OR MORE WILL BE PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED…

    2) A LTD EDITION '4:14 SCREAM' SINGLE CD ALBUM OF 14 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED SONGS -

    AND I WILL BE OVERCOME WITH AN IRRESISTIBLE URGE** TO FINISH SOME (ALL?!!) OF THE OTHER OUTSTANDING CURE PROJECTS

    PS
    "AS CLEARLY AND SUCCINCTLY AS I CAN":
    I STILL PREFER PHYSICAL RELEASES TO VIRTUAL… gulp!

    1. The answer is in that very post that you quote:

      "Having said all that, I have no idea… I really don't. I'm really bad at planning long-term stuff."

      As always, never believe a word that Robert says, and whatever you do, never hold your breath waiting on a Cure release. :)
