The Cure: Original 12" Extended Mixes

How do you follow up a post on some iconic brits who rock hard? With a post on some iconic brits who rock hard. Here's some original 12" Extended Mixes of The Cure hits (not to be confused with Mixed Up, except for "Why Can't I Be You" which later appeared as an extra track on Mixed Up). The only way anyone still has these is if you are a vinyl enthusiast or still attached to your 80s artefacts, but it's nice to have them in a format that can go everywhere with you. Take my word for it, some of these mixes blow the originals right through the roof!

Primary (Extended Mix, 1981)
Let's Go To Bed (Milk Mix, 1990) (glorious! glorious!)
Just One Kiss (Extended Mix, 1983)
The Lovecats (Extended Mix, 1984)
Close To Me (Extended Remix, 1985)
Boys Don't Cry (Extended Remix, New Voice Club Mix, 1986)
Why Can't I Be You (Extended Mix, 1987)
A Japanese Dream (Extended Mix, 1987)
Hey You!!! (Extended Remix, 1987)
Pictures of You (Extended Remix) 1989
High (Extended Mix, 1992)
Friday I'm In Love (Extended Mix, 1992)

The Let's Go To Bed Milk Mix is not the original extended version of the song. It's from the Never Enough single. Also the High and Friday links are not working. But....keep up the great posts...I wanna Kwaya Na Kiss You Kiss You Kiss You!

Sorry guys, just fixed the links to "High" and "Friday..." so it's back up again. Let me know if anything else fails. Take it easy Loki, you could lose an arm next if you keep annoying the gals:)

I'd love to check these out - I used to have a couple of them - but all links seem to be down...

The links are fine-what you are experiencing may have more to do with the speed of your internet connection, or traffic on the files. Keep trying.

Um...okay, maybe...but I came to you via The Hype Machine and am having no problems pulling songs off other sites reached via them. Regardless, it's great to find someone who knows a good 80s 12" when they hear it...
