The Cure: The Walk (1983)


It's difficult to believe that after the gloomy Pornography, the Cure could release songs as jaunty and danceable as The Walk and Let's go to Bed. What happened? This EP (or mini LP) has 6 tracks (though there are 4 track versions and a two track 7" version). All six tracks appear on the later Japanese Whispers collection, meaning that this collection is not necessary, unless you are a Cure completionist. I suppose this record introduced a new direction for the band.

Here's The Cure lip-syncing on The Top of the Pops:
