Talk:Boys Don't Cry (The Cure album)

compilation album?

this is an official release. not a compilation. why is it listed on the discography as that? (Drugyourlove (talk) 03:39, 2 September 2009 (UTC))

Yep, good question. I don't see a previous discussion regarding it, and no one else has replied, so feel free to change it. Erzsébet Báthory_{(talk|contr.)} 16:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

This is the person that originally made the change, seemingly without a discussion. Erzsébet Báthory_{(talk|contr.)} 16:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

creative control

For the UK debut album Three_Imaginary_Boys the Wikipedia article states that "The record company decided which songs were put on the album, as well as the cover artwork, without Robert Smith's consent. For all Cure albums since, Smith has ensured he is given complete creative control over the final product before it goes on sale." Did he have creative control of Boys Don't Cry? Is this what he wanted the debut album to be? If so it would be cool to mention it in this article. Treva26 (talk) 06:27, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
