Japanese Whispers

Product Information

Sire Records Company, 3 East 54th Street, New York, New York 10022. Marketed by WEA Records & Tape Distributors Pty Limited. A Warner Communications Company Let's Go to Bed sounded fine enough, but when the Dream came on, something sounded really off. I got out my Sire LP to a/b the two versions, and sure enough, the Dream on the WG CD - as well as the other three songs culled from the Walk EP - sounded muffled and muddy compared to the Sire LP. The best way I can describe it is that the Sire LP (while not a stellar pressing) had this airiness and very pleasing definition/detail in the higher frequencies, whereas the WG CD sounded as if that high frequency had been crudely switched off.

I suggested that we were going to do something that’s kind of like a Disney take on jazz, based around the Aristocats. And suddenly everything we did started to sell.” APB Music Co.

After the band had imploded (and dropped down to only two permanent members) from their increasingly depressing albums Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography, upbeat pop songs like “Let’s Go To Bed”, “The Walk” and “The Lovecats” reinvented the band from gloomy doomsters to pop sensations seemingly overnight. Makes sense, Thanks Oso, that leaves US and Japan, hopefully someone with a Sire US can confirm these numbers, thanks again guys! I have the WG, FR, and US (Sire) editions of this CD and I think the Sire is the best of the bunch. Japanese Whispers is a compilation of Cure singles and B-sides that were released between November 1982 and November 1983. The compilation includes popular hits such as “Let’s Go To Bed ”, “The Walk ” and “The Lovecats ” that made the band become the household names they are today.

Hilarity ensues. It's at least 50% accurate and 85% complete. The remaining 15% is just lines of frustrated question marks. But the parts that they got wrong are worth the price of admission.

Statistics

First charted in the UK Album charts on December 24th 1983, highest position was number 26, reached on January 21st 1984. In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, Smith detailed what contributed to the shift in style. “I didn’t want that side of life anymore; I wanted to do something that’s really kind of cheerful. I thought, “This isn’t going to work. No one’s ever gonna buy into this. It’s so ludicrous that I’m gonna go from a goth idol to a pop star in three easy lessons. The following year, two additional (and even more successful, as it turned out) poppy singles were made available to the public - a grateful public, it seemed, with ‘The Walk’ reaching #12, and ‘The Lovecats’ faring even better, hitting an impressive #7 position in 1983 on the reformed-goths home turf. The singles marked a change of direction in The Cure’s sound, so it’s convenient then, that fans were offered an opportunity to collect the aforementioned singles (and their respective b-sides) in one, neat bundle entitled ‘Japanese Whispers’, to investigate this unassumingly important chapter in the bands eclectic catalogue.
