‘Wish’ was The Cure’s 9th studio album, released on 21st April 1992. It became the band’s best-selling album, reaching #1 in the UK and #2 in the US, where it was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Alternative Music Album category. The album yielded three hit singles, ‘High’, ‘Friday I’m In Love’ and ‘A Letter To Elise’. That year’s Wish tour would be the Cure’s most extensive, with 111 shows in 21 countries.
The new deluxe 3CD 45-track edition of ‘Wish’ includes 24 previously unreleased tracks & 4 more that are new to CD and digital. CD1 contains the original ‘Wish’ album, newly remastered by Robert Smith and Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The second disc features 21 previously unreleased demos, including four studio vocal demos from 1990 and seventeen instrumental demos from 1991, 9 of which are previously unreleased songs. The third CD in the set features remixes, studio outtakes and the four tracks from the mail-order only cassette ‘Lost Wishes’ released in 1993, which have never appeared on CD or digitally.
The Cure ‘Play Out’ documentary was released on VHS and Laserdisc in 1991. The film follows the band for seven days in London just before the recording of ‘Wish’. ‘Play Out’ follows the band as they perform new songs at a club gig, play Wembley Arena, appear on the Jonathan Ross show, rehearse for and perform their legendary MTV Unplugged show and receive the award for Best British Group at The Brit Awards. The full 2-hour 15-minute version of the film features footage not previously seen in the UK and has been upgraded to HD.
The Cure are currently undertaking a 46 date European Tour ending with 8 shows in the UK in December. For more details see https://www.thecure.com/shows/
