Boys Don't Cry

The Cure release the 1986 mix of 'Boys Don't Cry', making it available digitally for the first time ever in line with its 40th Anniversary. Initially released as a standalone single in the summer of 1979, 'Boys Don't Cry' became the title track of the US edition of the band's debut album, 'Three Imaginary Boys'. The song went on to become one of the band's signature tracks and achieved international success in 1986, when Robert Smith re-recorded the vocal and remixed the backing track. Although this new version was created to promote the best of collection 'Standing on a Beach - The Singles', the LP itself featured the original recording, and the 7-inch version of 'Boys Don't Cry (New Voice - New Mix)', now retitled 'Boys Don't Cry (86 Mix)', is being released on vinyl for the first time in 40 years. 'Boys Don't Cry (86 Mix)', the 12-inch mix, and the B-Sides, 'Plastic Passion', 'Pillbox Tales', and 'Do The Hansa' have been remastered by Matt Colton.
