which was the song they did underwater, in a cupboard?

That was the "Close To Me" remix that appeared on the Mixed-Up album.

Wow, I thought that was just the video...they recorded it there too?

Actually, that Tim Pope-directed video pre-dates the remix album, and was originally released for the STANDING ON A BEACH compilation.

Man I love that compilation. It's going cheap now as well thanks to that new Cure compilation which is hardly essential.

one year passes...

What about the version of "Boys Don't Cry" from the video? Was that released?

Rainman, Boy's Don't Cry was their 2nd ever single but was re-released with a new vocal/mix in 1986.

I think he means the version (that seems "live") on the video compilation of Staring at the Sea (wherein the band, with spooky glowing eyes, play behind a pale curtain as a kiddie version of the band play infront). I've never heard that version outside of the compilation.

Single only version released in 1986 - new vocals but same backing track, I think

Baaderist OTM; the b-sides were "Pillbox Tales" and "Do The Hansa".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 13 February 2004 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, Alex, that's exactly what I'm looking for. So, this is it, right?

― rainman (rainman), Friday, 13 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, that's the "Boys Don't Cry"/"Pillbox Tales" 7-inch.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 13 February 2004 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Wicked, thanks.
