"What will probably happen is that a double album will come out like a limited edition, mixed by me," he continues. "A single-disc version, which I assume will be primarily chosen by the label, might get mixed by someone else in order to have a different thing. There's a concern Cure fans will feel like they have to get both, but the fact is, I've agreed to sell the double version at a single album price, because I feel that strongly about it. It is almost impossible to get a double album nowadays. I naively thought my standing as an artist would push aside all objections, but the world gets ever more commercial as it turns."Some of the best Cure albums were double albums (Kiss Me(3), Disintegration) but then again most of the best Cure albums were released in the 1980s. It sounds like Robert Smith is talking about a double CD, which seems a bit overwhelming. Of course, with digital distribution it's pretty much a wash. Release as much was you want, Robert, it just means a few extra minutes of waiting for the user before they slap it on their iPod.
