It’s true that I aired a Cure special in October of last year, but: a) it aired at my old timeslot of 3am, b) that timeslot was only 2 1/2 hours long. c) consequently I never got to the end of The Cure’s chronological discography.

The Cure’s seminal album Disintegration was reissued this week in a 3-disc set, so I figured this would be a perfect time to re-air the special and do it up right this time.

I was happy with the first 3 sets, so I kept those. The rest was all-new, produced in the weeks leading up to this airing. I hope you enjoyed it.
