Cure ORIG OZ LP The head on the door EX ’85 WEA 272311 Post Punk Goth Rock
Original OZ LP released in 1985 on WEA Records. Cat: 272311. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition. After recording one of their darkest albums, 1984's The Top, the Cure regrouped and shuffled their lineup, which changed their musical direction rather radically. While the band always had a pop element in their sound and even recorded one of the lightest songs of the '80s, "The Lovecats," The Head on the Door is where they become a hitmaking machine. The shiny, sleek production and laser-sharp melodies of "Inbetween Days" and "Close to Me" helped them become modern rock radio staples and the inspired videos had them in heavy rotation on MTV. The rest of the record didn't suffer for hooks and inventive arrangements either, making even the gloomiest songs like "Screw" and "Kyoto Song" sound radio-ready, and the inventive arrangements (the flamenco guitars and castanets of "The Blood," the lengthy and majestic intro to "Push," the swirling vocals on "The Baby Screams") give the album a musical depth previous efforts lacked.
Tracks : In between days/ Kyoto song/ The blood/ Six different ways/ Push/ The baby screams/ Close to me/ A night like this/ Screw/ Sinking. There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks that cause a few light crackles and is in Excellent condition. Cover has very light ring wear and some small surface tears around edges and is in VG+ condition.
