<br />
Perfect as Cats is one of the many Cure Tribute collections out there. Apparently, this one is Robert Smith approved.<br />
<br />
There are some gems and there are some turkeys. Overall, it has a good collection of pre-"Head on the Door" tracks. Caterpillar, Jumping Someone Else's Train, Funeral Party,Grinding Halt.<br />
<br />
I like some of the female vocal takes such as Khaki King doing a "Close to Me."<br />

<br />
<br />
New Order's "Temptation" is an epic song. Unfortunately, no one can settle which is the best version. The 1987 Substance version is a bit pop and catchy but it doesn't have the warmth of the original 1981 12". I like both but have a strong leaning toward the original. The 1987 version came out during the time when CD players first started gaining popularity. I clearly remember paying $12 for the two disc Substance CD at my local record store. That CD survived many scratches throughout the years.<br />
<br />
Here are a collection of versions throughout the years.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Temptation 12" original. In my opinion, this by far the best when played off vinyl. I have both the 12" record and various CD digital imports. The 12" vinyl was one of the most expensive UK imports I remember paying for. The CD re-masters do not capture the warmth of the original recording. The lack of polish, the crackle and imperfections in the original studio recording gives the song great personality.<br />
<br />

<br />
The 2007 Substance version (also known as Trainspotting soundtrack version). Sounds almost like a dance pop track.<br />

Cranberries does a cover of the Smith's There Is A Light That Never Goes Out for a French radio station.<br />

As much as I like the Cranberries, I think she slaughtered the song. You be the judge.<br />

<br />
There are so many rare tracks that you simply cannot buy anymore and youtube has been the unofficial archive of these recordings.<br />
<br />
There are no CD versions. There are no known deluxe or compilation that has this version.<br />
<br />
I like the long drum and guitar intro. Enjoy.<br />

<br />
The song is purely her vocal. For an actress, she has a haunting voice that would make Morrissey proud. She also does a great Eurythmic cover on the soundtrack as well.<br />

The hit song "If You Leave" from Pretty in Pink was a major teen anthem for many and prominently played at many High School Junior and Senior Proms.<br />
<br />
Now, they are relegated to playing live at local bike shops.<br />
<br />
In the cutaway shots, you can see some fellow forty year olds trying to get their groove on. I've seen this scene so many times replayed recently. There is sense of discomfort as middle age New Wavers try to get their groove on.<br />
