Cure - Join The Dots (B-Sides And Rarities 1978-2001 - The Fiction Years) (CD 2004)

My partner got this for me when it came out and I wasn't sure at first... B-sides, can be a hit and miss, mismatch of tracks usually. However, this is definately a nice balance between some you've heard but haven't got and those you just didn't know about. My only nag is that some tracks are repeated in different mixes and that's a bit annoying if you are looking to play the CDs through from start to finish - do you really need 3 versions of the same track after each other?? Having said that, some of the mixes do sound completely different. So I couldn't say I hate it... This definately gets a good from me.

This box set has 4 CDs, which features 70 tracks, of which there are about 63+ differing tracks. There is also an attached book with pictures of the changing band and a write up on their history, which is split down into the years covered by each of the 4 CDs.
