Robert Smith remastered the audio for this edition, and it is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl. The printed inner sleeve carries the lyrics and a band photograph. Fiction licenses the recording to Polydor, and this is an import pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePornography is the Cure's fourth studio album, first released by Fiction in 1982. It was the band's first record with producer Phil Thornalley and was made at RAK Studios in London, with Smith on vocals and guitar, Simon Gallup on bass and Lol Tolhurst on drums. It was Tolhurst's last album as the band's drummer and the first on which he also played keyboards. Smith has named the Psychedelic Furs' self-titled debut as the reference point for the album's dense sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 8, the Cure's first top-ten album in Britain, and \"The Hanging Garden\" followed as a single that July. Gallup left the band after the album's release, and the Cure turned to a brighter sound on the records that followed. Reviews at the time were largely unfavorable. Later assessments have been warmer: NME has called it \"arguably the album that invented goth,\" and Mojo placed it at No. 83 on its list of 100 Records That Changed the World.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Hundred Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Short Term Effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hanging Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSiamese Twins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Figurehead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Strange Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePornography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602547875471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imports\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.9.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fiction Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48229800935582,"sku":"EVP-D760CE41-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/TCR148195.png?v=1791736636","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/the-cure-pornography-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
