The Cure's 1993 double live album Paris is getting a slightly belated 30th anniversary edition courtesy of Rhino.  The 2LP and 1CD expanded editions premiere two bonus tracks, and all audio has been newly remastered by frontman Robert Smith and Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The black vinyl edition has been cut by Showell.  Paris arrived in stores in October 1993 - the group's third live release in just over two years. This set arrived only one month after Show, both of which chronicled The Cure's 1992 tour in support of their ninth studio album Wish, the most commercially successful LP in the band's discography. Whereas Show captured a concert from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan, Paris - as the title indicates - was recorded over three nights in the City of Lights at Le Zenith de Paris. The 30th anniversary reissue adds previously unreleased live versions of "Shake Dog Shake" and "Hot Hot Hot!!!"  The album sequence has been reconfigured to accommodate these tracks which now open and close the set, respectively.
