Bloodflowers, the 2000 release by the Alternative Rock band "The Cure" is considered their best since their hugely successful release "Disintegration". Bloodflowers is also considered by Robert Smith (lead singer and lyricist) to be the final album in the trilogy of albums he feels best define The Cure.  (Pornography & Disintegration being the other two.)  Original pressings of this record bring fairly high prices.  Vinyl releases from the late 90's through early 2000's are not very common, and this album only sold moderately well to start with, on vinyl or CD.  I found this in a pawn shop, in excellent condition and prices well below market value!  Such a thrill finding undervalued vinyl!  Here is "Where The Birds Always Sing" followed by "There is no if..."

The Cure, Early BBC Sessions 1979 - 1985, released in 2011 covers as the name implies, early works of the band from the BBC archives. There are rumours that this is a unofficial or off label record, but I don't really think so.  There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the cover saying it is released by arrangement with BBC, and it is covered by copyright.  Anyways, it is still a good collection of early music by this band.  The quality and volume between songs varies somewhat, but generally well recorded.  Here are two songs I really like: "Subway Song" and "Kyoto Song"
