The Cure opened Wish with a brighter surface than Disintegration, but the 1992 album still carries the band's sense of scale, emotional drag, and layered atmosphere. Songs stretch outward without losing their melodic center, which is a major reason this record became the group's best-selling and Grammy-nominated release. This indie exclusive 2LP edition is the 30th anniversary remaster on 180g black vinyl, issued through Rhino's Start Your Ear Off Right series (SYEOR).

"High" and "Friday I'm in Love" give the album two of its most recognizable hooks, while "A Letter to Elise" turns inward without losing the record's sweep. "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" adds one of the heaviest emotional and musical builds in the Cure catalog, and "Open," "Cut," and "To Wish Impossible Things" keep the set moving between tension, release, and regret across the 12-song sequence, giving Wish more depth than a radio-summary version would imply and helping the album land as more than a singles set.

Robert Smith and Miles Showell remastered Wish at Abbey Road for this reissue, and the 2LP format restores the complete album in a package that suits its long, flowing structure. The set comes in a single sleeve with a wide spine and two printed inner sleeves, keeping the presentation close to the album's original visual identity while giving the full program room to breathe on vinyl.

  • Format: 2LP
  • Standout tracks: "High," "Friday I'm in Love," "A Letter to Elise," "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea"
  • Pressing details: Indie Exclusive, Limited Edition, Start Your Ear Off Right, remastered 180g black vinyl, single sleeve with wide spine, printed inner sleeves
  • Genre/style: Alternative Rock, Gothic Rock, Dream Pop, Post-Punk
  • UPC: 603497837830

"High," "Friday I'm in Love," and "A Letter to Elise" are central songs here, but Wish holds together because the full record moves with more depth than its singles suggest. On vinyl, it remains one of the key Cure albums from the band's early-90s peak.
