OK you have to be a Cure fan, but the songs are great, the booklet is interesting and the whole package is really well done. Now the price has come down (I paid £15). Listening to the early stuff brings back memories; my Mum threw away the single cover for 'Boys Don't Cry' when I was out at school because the back of it was a drawing of blow-up doll for 'Plastic Passion' I have still not recovered but this box-set helps.
One of the best buys I have made for a bit.

Smorgasbord Deluxe 4 July 2008
Format:Audio CD
This amazingly lush offering from the Cure contains a vast amount of rarities and 'B-sides' from their long and successful recording career.

It's not really the kind of collection you stick on and listen to all the way through. This is beacuse it's really a feast for committed fans of the band. The Cure were both fabulously precocious and stunningly gifted and this combination meant that they had the balls to try out all sorts of ideas.

This also means that 'Join The Dots' contains some deleriously successful bits of music and others that don't quite work.

When the first singles collection (Standing On A Beach) was released, the B-side of the cassette edition contained the B-sides to the singles. 'Join the Dots' includes all of these and much, much more on the shiny CD digital format.

The high value of this item is without doubt as it originally sold for much more than the price Amazon is now charging. The packaging resembles a hard bound book which contains four CDs and an integrated 'booklet' which although lush does unfortunately resemble (in design terms) the former 80's teen magazine Smash Hits.

But it's the contents of the CDs themselves that will interest the Cure enthusiast. Moments of excellence such as 'Throw Your Foot', 'Harold and Joe' and 'The Upstairs Room' sit alongside some slightly dodgy material but there's more than enough good stuff to justify the exceptional price tag. There are 70 tracks in this collection!

So you can pick out what you want and disregard the rest. It's never less than fascinating and sometimes simply sublime.

Maybe, one day, Robert Smith will release some of the great low-fi live recordings (some of which appeared on the 'Live Anomalies' B-Side on the 'Concert' cassette) that languish in some Fictional cupboard somewhere.

You could break into Robert Smith's house and rifle through his sock drawer to find those hard to get Cure recordings or just click 'Buy Now'.

Just click 'Buy Now'.

Being a huge Cure fan, I have all the studio albums, all the live albums and a couple of the compilations, but had delayed buying this. I wish I had bought it sooner. It comes the size of a large DVD case and has a 78 page, full colour book in the middle documenting the band from 1978 - 2001 (The Fiction Years) and the 4 CDs are packed with all the B sides during that time along with a few gems ("Just Say" Yes" and "Purple Haze" the Hendrix cover.... (awesome!)). Released in 2004, I could have this fantastic collectors must have a long time ago! BUY IT!
