Just curious. I don't have this release yet, but I wanted to ask if Bananafishbones on this LP was the original version or the sped up remastered version. I don't want to buy it unless the song is in its original form. Just saying. Not trying to be picky, but that's one thing that Robert Smith made a decision on that I don't agree with. -

This picture disc is very noisy. Lots of pops and surface noise. I was disappointed for the price and being an anniversary pressing. Not worth the purchase if you already have this album. -
I have most of The Cure’s RSD picture discs and I’ve gotta say this might be the noisiest one. Not surprising for a picture disc but theirs usually sound pretty good for the most part. Still it doesn’t sound too bad and doesn’t take away from the music. I have no regrets buying it. Most days I call this my favorite Cure album.
