The post The Cure release 40 Live Curaetion 25 + Anniversary box set: Stream appeared first on Consequence of Sound.

Back in 1979, The Cure released their debut album Three Imaginary Boys. Forty years later, the band is still very much a tour de force. Today they celebrate the fact by releasing their 40 Live Curaetion 25 + Anniversary box set, a collection of tracks from their 2018 performances at the Meltdown Festival and London’s Hyde Park. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify.

The compilation is a two-parter, including film footage. First there’s Curaetion-25: From There To Here | From Here To There, taken from the 10th and final night of the Meltdown Festival, curated by singer Robert Smith himself. The first half showcases one song from each of their 13 studio albums in chronological order, wrapping with the unreleased tune “It Can Never Be the Same”. Then in the latter portion, the band kicks off with the new song “Step Into the Light” before moving backward and wrapping with “Boys Don’t Cry”. The second part of the set, Anniversary: 1978-2018 Live In Hyde Park London, captures the band’s 40th anniversary show at London’s Hyde Park last summer, spanning 30 songs.

The box set arrives in a few limited edition forms, including a full-form gatefold with 2x Blu-ray/DVD and 4x CDs, spanning nearly 9 hours of concert coverage, along with a 40 page hardback book. There’s also the hardbook version which comes equipped with 2x Blu-rays/DVDs and a 16 page booklet. Curaetion 25 and Anniversary are both available individually as well. Pick up your copy via Amazon.

Listen to the collection in its entirety below.
