Is thecurerecords.com exhaustive?
No. The number of known official The Cure records grows constantly, as with new visitors and registered users. Nearly every day new records are listed. You will easily find them in the "Recent updates" section.
Are all the records listed official?
Up to a 99%, yes. We take great care not to include unofficial titles like bootlegs, fakes or amature live recordings. Exceptionally, this site also lists non-official industrially pressed The Cure actual titles that are released and distributed by real labels as ordinary commercial releases in their respective countries. Click "Non-official" to display these items.
Do you list bootlegs?
Exceptionally,
we list bootlegs when they are official The Cure titles. These are
located on the non-official section. Other than that we do not plan to
list other kinds.
How can I tell whether my record is a bootleg or fake?
"Bootlegs" are commonly easy to spot since they are made by an unofficial label and usually feature unreleased content. However sometimes they are hard to spot since they are official titles pretending to be genuine promo/limited/collectors editions and use the logos from an official label. "Fakes" are home-made and pretend to be official and very rare. Most are commonly easy to spot mainly due to the poor quality of the print or the artwork design. However some fakes are nearly impossible to spot, like white labels and CD-Rs.
What are quarantined items?
Quarantined items are likely to be either fakes or unexisting. As a consequence, these items are due to be removed (fakes) or remain as empty boxes (unexisting).
Can I download my personal lists?
Yes, you can download them in Microsoft Excel format any time you want. Log in, then click on the list you want to download, then click "Download".
