With the 30th anniversary deluxe edition of Wish imminent, we pay tribute to the biggest cult band on the planet. We speak to producer Dave M Allen about the making of Wish, look at Robert Smith’s history of collaboration, and discover what it takes to be The Cure’s frontman from tribute acts around the globe. We also feature an exclusive extract from Simon Price’s forthcoming Curepedia: An A-Z of The Cure, as well as some jaw-dropping collections of music and memorabilia from the world’s biggest Cure fans. Plus, new pieces from the best writers on the band’s complete recorded works. It’s so wonderfully pretty!
