The Cure have undergone several stylistic changes in their career. While they're better known for their later work with albums such as Disintegration, 1989, and The Head on the Door, 1985, my favourite album is probably their first album, Three Imaginary Boys. In this album lies Boys Don't Cry from several different recording sessions. What I love about this album is that it's not great. The raw and authentic sound to all the songs, some okay, some not great, shows The Cure in their teens still working things out. Their style is under-established, sweet and naive to what they'd be facing in their careers. Below I have embedded the album so you can have a 30 second preview to the songs, unless you already have Spotify downloaded.
In the past, I have done a photo shoot similar to the image on the cover of the album. These photos were taken to express empty space, but I think for my own digipak cover, I'd like to reverse this and create something concerning more lack of space. The Cure in 1979 were young and fun, and I think that's something I feel more inclined to picture.
