About the Album
The Cure's debut album — a raw, post-punk record largely shaped by producer Chris Parry. Robert Smith has since distanced himself from it, feeling it misrepresented the band's vision, but it contains the seeds of their future sound and features early fan favourites including 'Killing an Arab' and '10:15 Saturday Night.'
Recorded during 1978 and early 1979, the debut captured The Cure in transition from punk roots to a colder, moodier post-punk identity. Robert Smith later said the final track selection reflected label decisions as much as band intent.
