The Cure Boys Don’t Cry LP 1980 Aust STUNN

 

Hard-to-find Australian pressing on STUNN Records.

 

Boys Don't Cry is an album by The Cure, released in February 1980 in the UK and in August 1980 (see 1980 in music) in the U.S. It is a compilation of songs from Three Imaginary Boys, but missing three of that album's songs ("Foxy Lady", "Meathook", "It's Not You") and adding several other tracks ("Boys Don't Cry", "Plastic Passion", "Jumping Someone Else's Train", "World War" and "Killing an Arab"). The debut single from this album was "Boys Don't Cry".

On the back cover of original UK album Three Imaginary Boys, the song titles were not listed conventionally, but represented by pictograms. Boys Don't Cry took the pictogram for the song "Fire in Cairo" for its sleeve picture.

The London based indie punk band Plastic Passion took their name from a song from this album.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 442 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
