The Cure are releasing two limited edition albums on April 21st for Record Store Day: A vinyl edition of The Cure's Mixed Up, plus a brand new remix album titled Torn Down (Mixed Up Extra).
The Cure originally released the nine track remix album Mixed Up in 1990, however it was never released on vinyl. The limited edition double LP picture disc arrives on Record Store Day and features the original material newly remastered by Robert Smith. The release is limited to 7750 copies worldwide. See the listing here.
Keep in mind that not every record store will be stocking these special Record Store Day releases, so it's best to contact your favorite store well ahead of time in order to prevent disappointment on the big day. For more on Record Store Day, visit the official site here.

Meltdown takes place June 15th through June 24th at Southbank Center in London. For more info visit the official site here.
