The Cure – The Head On The Door

Can someone tell me what is the proper way of writing "In Between Days"?
This is what I could find online.
The original Fiction Records CD release has the track labelled as "Inbetween Days"
The original Elektra Records CD release has it labelled as "In Between Days"
The original vinyl release has it labelled as "In Between Days" on the back side and on the record, but it's labelled as "Inbetween Days" on the liner.
The single release cover has it as "In Between Days"
So this is the problem. Was there a certain spelling that the band preferred or should i just pick the one i like better?

What a frigging great record this is. A real masterpiece!

One of the best sounding records in my collection. The drums are mixed/mastered so perfectly.

Researching the promotional poster that came with the UK first pressing , as mine did , im yet to find a reference to it with the album anywhere , but have found 3 for sale and its stated its been folded 3 times for storage reasons , the reason for those 3 folds , is so it fits into the album cover !

My first pressing contains the Poster ? No mention of this in the release info here ?

Their low point during the 80's, Kyoto Song and Six Different Ways, what are such sub standard tracks doing on a Cure album, even Vince Clarke managed to get more juice out of those toy Casio keyboards.

Prior to the Top 100 brand of The Cure the band was followed by "cool" kids. Not cool by today's standards but kids that were truly post punk. Kids that listened to and shared physical music fanaticly and used it to understand their world at the time (80's). Music playing on the radio was mediocre at best and some bands held a Indie attitude and stayed with lesser known lables. These bands were my best friends. The Cure, Rem, The Replacements, Pixies, etc. weren't popular until late in their output. The best Cure companion for all of us back then was Standing on a beach + b sides, cassette only release. Bootlegs are available on cd but hard to find.The Cure discography will remain and should be enjoyed from the beginning. Friday I wasn't in love.

I was brought to this album by the track - Close To Me, as i heard it on the romantic scene of the film Accepted. For a long time i just had that song, and at the time i really didn't know who The Cure were. After finding out they also performed the song Friday I'm In Love (Not on this release) i decided to endeavour into their music. After seeing that these guys have had a good lot of releases, i was unsure on where to start - but seeing that Close To Me was, and still is, my favourite song by them, why not start with the album it was from. After seeing that it got a good rating from AllMusic critics i soon added it to my ever-growing, ever-long list of albums to listen to.

Only just lately have i got round to listening to it, and wow...what have i been missing. I love this album. Ive never really bothered to look into the New Wave scene that was big in the Eighties, as i am more of a rock guy - but i am more than glad that i decided to listen to this album. The lyric writing on this album is just amazing, almost every line sounds like a caption to a piece of art, or an Act in a stage performance. The sounds here are just captivating, changing in tempo and atmosphere each track - for example, a more Egyptian feel in The Blood to the more slow romantic feel you get from Close To Me. Rob Smith isn't the best of vocalists, but it gives this album that artistic edge...makes it different - which if my knowledge serves me right, thats what New Wave is right?

The album is of great length and doesn't feel long winded, at just over 30 minutes/10 Tracks. Looking at the album on my iTunes Library, it scores well with most tracks being 4* or more (5*'s come rarely in my library), with the only songs i'm not that into really being The Baby Screams and Sinking. But thats 2 tracks out of 10, so 80% of the album is, in my opinion, great!

So my short conclusion for this album is that, if you either:
Want to start listening to The Cure's albums, or,
Want to start listening to 80s New Wave - then start with this album, because trust me its worth it.

I think you can guess my recommended track, but here it is anyway:
Close To Me

After that try, Push, Six Different Ways, Koyoto Song and In Between Days
