The Cure emerged in the post-punk 70s and defied all expectations to launch a marathon career marked by hit records and a string of sell-out arena shows. Never Enough traces The Cure's roots in middle-class Crawley, Sussex, and tracks their gradual rise, revealing how their first major album Pornography, almost ended the band well before their multi-platinum career began. Also documents Robert Smith's escape into the Siouxie & The Banshees camp during the 80s, and his experimentation with every drug. His reluctance to return to The Cure would eventually lead to them becoming superstars all across the globe. Never Enough is the first major, definitive biography of these post-punk survivors. In 2004, after numerous personnel changes, the band delivered their Greastest Hits album.

    The song list featured ‘Meathook’, which would reappear on their debut album in 1979, and ‘See The Children’, whose questionable lyrics painted Smith as a dirty old man in teenager’s clothing. There was certainly an uneasy air of queasiness about lyrics which talked of passing sweets through a fence and wanting to join in the children’s games. Other tracks recorded were ‘I Just Need Myself’, ‘I Want To Be Old’ and ‘Pillbox Tales’, which would resurface as the B-side of 1978’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ and then, again, some 27 years later on Join The Dots: B-Sides And Rarities.
