About this album
Standing On A Beach • The Singles is a sharp summary of The Cure’s first, most influential decade, tracing their move from stark post-punk tension to melodic new-wave and synth-pop success. Issued in 1986, the compilation gathers key singles such as Killing An Arab, A Forest, The Lovecats, In Between Days and Close To Me, showing how Robert Smith and company turned anxiety, romance and wit into some of the era’s most distinctive pop. The set underlines the band’s growing reach and helped cement their reputation as one of Britain’s most important alternative groups.
