Acoustic Hits is the essential companion to The Cure's landmark Greatest Hits collection, stripping eighteen of Robert Smith's most beloved songs down to their bare bones. Re-recorded entirely with acoustic instruments, the set reveals just how strong the songwriting is beneath the atmospheric production — tracks like "Lovesong" and "Boys Don't Cry" hit differently when the synths fall away. Certified multi-platinum across the UK, Europe, and beyond, it remains one of the most compelling acoustic reimaginings in post-punk history.
This 2017 pressing is the standard black vinyl version of what began as a limited Record Store Day picture disc — 180-gram vinyl with hand-etched runouts, spread across two LPs on Fiction Records. The etched runouts are a nice touch that collectors notice, and the 180g weight gives it the weight and presence the music deserves. Originally issued only as the bonus disc in the 2xCD Greatest Hits set, this standalone pressing is the easiest way to own it on wax.
