I picked up Seventeen Seconds and Pornography and The Top deluxe editions, along with The Glove deluxe for my eldest when she was going through the inevitable 14 year old Cure obsession several years back. Some good stuff amongst the extras on them all. I steered clear of Faith, though it does have it's moments, it's still too much of a dirge to be a happy listen. Mind you, I still have my original 'double play' tape of it somewhere with 'Carnage Visors' on the B-side. Think the 'Concert' album tape version had some great stuff on the B-side too as I recall, 'Curiosity (Killing the Cat): Cure Anomalies 1977–1984. Looks like many of those Concert extras ended upon the second discs of various deluxe editions. The Cure were always good at giving you extra stuff on the cassette versions to make it worth you're while.

The second disc of The Glove Blue Sunshine deluxe makes the album a whole different beast when Bob was singing all the trax instead of Landray or whatever she was called doing the few she did. I still love those little musical interludes on The Glove album, they manage to sound like proper mad 60's bits and bobs.
