Standing On A Beach - The Cure

[Wispy68]

I'm looking for the above album on CD, as I've had it on cassette for years. I've heard that it's no longer available due to the first track being 'offensive'. I've tried charity shops and boot sales, but has anyone managed to buy it in any record shops? Many thanks!

It definitely came out on CD, though nothing's showing on eBay at the moment. Just keep plugging on!

Please note that in this country at least, "Standing on a Beach" was just the cassette version of "Staring at the Sea", but with a few different "bonus" tracks ( http://www.planetdis.com/cure/discography.html ), so the "Beach" CD may be identical to the "Sea" one! "Sea" is readily available, still with "Killing an Arab"(!) as the first track. As all the "bonus" cassette tracks are on "Join the Dots", you may be better off buying "Staring at the Sea" and "Join the Dots" on CD.
