34 years ago today, “Entreat” by The Cure was released. Did you already know these 5 facts?

★ “Entreat” was compiled from recordings of the concert of the “Disintegration” tour in 1989, which took place at Wembley Arena in London.

★ While the band played the concert, the recordings were professionally reworked by a sound engineer. The final mix of the album was created by Robert Smith and producer David M. Allen, who also worked on “Disintegration”.

★ A striking feature of “Entreat” is the lack of interaction between the band and the audience. On many live albums you hear announcements from the frontman, but in this case they decided to present just the music without any dialog between the band and the fans.

★ “Entreat” only contains a selection of songs from “Disintegration” (1989), but surprisingly some of the best-known tracks such as “Lovesong” or “Fascination Street” are missing. Instead, the focus is on the album’s more epic, atmospheric songs.

★ The first release of “Entreat” was on a limited CD and vinyl edition in the UK. It was a highly coveted collector’s item.
