Obligatory a-ha Post (Plus One for The Cure)

May 11, 2010 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

The a-ha deluxe editions are out exclusively on Rhino's Web site. Do it now!

Okay, now that that's cleared up, another brief Rhino tidbit of '80s goodness. In a sign that The Cure's Disintegration is finally coming out in its deluxe, three-disc form (on June 3), Rhino's offering a special collectible to the first 500 pre-orders - a nine-track promo disc of choice cuts from the new set entitled 3x3x3. Cure fans are not going to want to pass this one up, so head here and get 'em while they're hot.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    That promo disc is one of the lamest pre-order incentives I've ever heard of.

    I suppose it's totally awesome if someone's really really really into The Cure, but yeah, it's not getting my blood pumping either.

    I'm definitely getting the a-ha discs. I hope they do the same for "Stay On These Roads".

    I don't want to slam Rhino, because I appreciate the fact that they are putting out both the a-ha and Cure sets, all of which I'm planning to buy.

    However, Rhino.com is not the way to go. I can order both a-ha sets from amazon.uk and get them for much cheaper, including shipping, than Rhino, even when you factor in the $5 discount.

    Same with the Cure. The EU import (which is on Universal, not Rhino) is about $10 cheaper even with overseas shipping factored in.
