Sombre, vast and yet full of melody: with Disintegration, The Cure delivered the definitive statement of its darker side in 1989. Robert Smith wrote the album in the run-up to his thirtieth birthday, and among the long, reverb-drenched tracks are three of the band's biggest singles: Lovesong, Lullaby and Pictures of You. Lovesong climbed to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The album was originally released in 1989 on Fiction Records.

This edition is a CD.
