Boys Don't Cry (86 Mix / 2026 Remaster) [7"]

The Cure are to release the 1986 mix of "Boys Don’t Cry," making it available digitally for
the first time ever in line with its 40th Anniversary. Initially released as a standalone
single in the summer of 1979, "Boys Don’t Cry" became the title track of the US edition of
the band’s debut album, THREE IMAGINARY BOYS.

The song went on to become one of the band’s signature tracks and achieved
international success in 1986, when Robert Smith re-recorded the vocal and remixed the
backing track. Although this new version was created to promote the best of
collection STARING AT THE SEA – THE SINGLES, the LP itself featured the original recording,
and the 7-inch version of ""Boys Don’t Cry"" (New Voice – New Mix), now retitled "Boys
Don’t Cry" (86 Mix), is being released on vinyl for the first time in 40 years.

"Boys Don’t Cry" (86 Mix) and ""Pillbox Tales"" have been remastered by Matt Colton.
