Sorry Ma Forgot To Take Out The Trash (Remastered/Deluxe Edition) - Replacements (The)

Advantages: Great Songs
Disadvantages: Second CD IS Not Very Good

...In 1981 the Cure released their third Album “Faith” following the release of their two previous Albums “Three Imaginary Boys” and “Seventeen Seconds” in 1979 and 1980 respectively. In 2005 this Album, originally released on vinyl was re-issued in a digitally re-mastered deluxe edition version.
