Remastered 180 Gram Double LP

This is the 2016 vinyl reissue of Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me from Fiction Records and Polydor, pressed across two 180 gram LPs. Robert Smith remastered the audio himself, and all 18 tracks run over four sides, as they did on the original double LP of 1987.

The four-side layout is how the whole album has always been heard on record. The first CD edition was a single disc and dropped "Hey You!!!" to fit the format's playing time; the vinyl and cassette always carried it, and here it closes side B. The two discs sit in a single-pocket jacket with a wide spine, each in a printed picture and lyric inner sleeve of thin card.

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is the band's seventh studio album, first issued by Fiction in May 1987. The Cure spent three months at Studio Miraval in Correns, France, cutting songs in one or two takes, and decided during those sessions that they had enough material for a double album. Smith co-produced with David M. Allen, and the record was mixed at Compass Point in the Bahamas and ICP Recording Studios in Belgium. The lineup was Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Lol Tolhurst and Boris Williams.

Four singles came from it: "Why Can't I Be You?", "Catch", "Just Like Heaven" and "Hot Hot Hot!!!". The album reached number 6 in the UK and was the band's first to enter the top 40 of the Billboard 200, going on to platinum certification, while "Just Like Heaven" became their first American top 40 single. Andy Vella, who had designed every Cure album sleeve since Faith, built the cover around a photograph of Smith's lipstick-covered lips. In 2000 Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums placed it at number 256.
