re: It’s Opening Time Down On Fascination Street

I can recall buying the single on vinyl before the album came out. I didn't have a working turntable at the time so I had to wait 5 days to hear it. My girlfriend at the time had a wealthy uncle for whom she was babysitting and I went with her and took the record too. He had a really, really nice stereo. The bass line was great on that system. The b-side Babble doesn't hold up with that dated baby cry/coo sample.
And y'all probably know that Facination Street is Bourbon Street.

Yes I did!! I wanted to add that in the post but forgot until this very minute. Thanks
quote:
"Fascination Street" was inspired by an alcoholic night in New Orleans.
In the liner notes for the compilation Galore, Robert Smith describes “Fascination Street” as:
A ‘generic’ song about the (often cynical) delights of exploring a new city nightlife; based loosely on one particular ‘band adventure’ in New Orleans 1985 – Bourbon Street, the cliche perhaps.
quote:
In an interview with Select magazine, Cure vocalist and primary songwriter Robert Smith said: "I was thinking of Bourbon Street in New Orleans when I wrote it - I was getting ready to go there and I thought: what the f--k do I think I'm going to find? It's about the incredulity that I could still be fooled into looking for a perfect moment."
