Product description

Dive into the captivating world of "Wish," the ninth studio album by the iconic English rock band The Cure, released in April 1992. This masterpiece, a blend of new wave, post-punk, and darkwave genres, marks a significant milestone in the band's discography, reaching number one in the UK Album Chart and number two in the USA. Produced by Dave Allen and Robert Smith, "Wish" was recorded at The Manor in Oxfordshire and mixed at Olympic in London, showcasing the band's evolution with a distinct shoegaze influence that adds a heavier, more atmospheric touch to their signature sound.

The album's tracklist is a journey through a diverse range of emotions, from the uplifting "Friday I'm In Love" to the hauntingly beautiful "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea." With a duration of one hour and five minutes, "Wish" offers a rich tapestry of melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners. The album's release on Polydor Records (initially Fiction Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the US) came with a striking red and blue picture CD, encased in a jewel box complete with a 12-page booklet, making it a collector's item as well as a musical treasure.

"Wish" is celebrated for its lush diversity of emotion and sound, with tracks that range from the energetic to the introspective. The Cure's ability to blend joy and melancholy is evident throughout, making this album a standout in their extensive catalog. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to The Cure's music, "Wish" promises an immersive listening experience that highlights the band's unique ability to craft songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

This 2LP set was released in 1992.

  • Surprisingly Excellent Vinyl Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    KpekhPeoXizhaJanuary 9, 2026United States🇺🇸

    I must say, I'm not sure if I'm just fortunate, but the 2 vinyls in my edition are perfectly flat, no pops or distortion. The sound is crystal clear and dynamic: rich bass and detailed highs. This is a genuinely pleasant surprise, I have to confess that I wasn't expecting much from this reissue.

  • Wish CD Packaging Flaws

    5 out of 5 stars
    hswphuazDecember 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    After a bit of a wait due to the U.K. postal strikes, the CD has finally shown up. The cassette beat it here, and the vinyl should be here any moment… Can't wait to give the CDs a spin tomorrow. The packaging looks fantastic. The front cover is a tad darker than the original, though I'm not sure why. The only issue so far is that the double digipak is a bit unstable. It's just the thin spine keeping the two main parts together. All the other Deluxe Editions in The Cure‘s remastered CD series over the years had a sturdy plastic-wrap supporting the cover. All of them except Wish. Mine came in a flimsy shrinkwrap and once that's gone, it's all down to the thin spine… Come on, flimsy spine! You've got this! ;)

  • Black Friday Picture Disc

    5 out of 5 stars
    lkutyihhanlxuisDecember 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The pressing is really good and it's a blast to own it on a Picture Disc. This was the UK R.S.D. Black Friday 2022 release. It also included a super limited poster. Only 1500 were made.

  • Large Poster Storage Dilemma

    5 out of 5 stars
    lnaelboanpDecember 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I recieved my poster from the seller when i purchased it, it's numbered at 1500. Now i'm clueless about where to keep it since it's quite large and i don't wanna crease it ..

  • Vinyl Disappointment

    3 out of 5 stars
    hcfhNovember 22, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Really let down by this vinyl release. Hardly any imaging or soundstage to speak of. Lacks depth and width. Just feels like squashed digital bits on vinyl. Better off sticking with the digital copies and giving this one a miss.
