No matter how carefully crafted the Cure's individual albums were, their finest moments occurred on singles like these, when they distilled their essence into surprisingly catchy, but decidedly left-of-center, pop singles. Staring at the Sea not only selects highlights from their uneven early albums, it collects many of the group's terrific non-LP singles. It's a definitive retrospective of the Cure and is one of the finest albums of the '80s.

Ultimately, Standing on a Beach became the group’s highest-charting album at the time, peaking at No. 4 in the . and No. 48 in America and ultimately selling two million copies on our shores. Less successful but just as intriguing for collectors was one single released to promote the set: a remix of 1979’s Boys Don’t Cry, featuring a new vocal track from Robert Smith. Throw the remixed Boys on there (which should make the first time the track’s appeared on CD) and its two B-sides, and you have a nice little curio for collectors.
