This visually stunning and beautifully designed volume has been compiled with the full cooperation and input of Robert Smith, who has also written the foreword.

This special edition features a new cover in celebration of Robert Smith's curation of the Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre in London in June 2018. The cover image is Vella's photograph of Robert featured on the posters advertising the festival. The content is the same as the original book. 'Fleeting moments... altered faces... unexpected spaces. By turns dreadfully justify, terribly honest, strangely melancholic.' - Robert Smith, 2014 Andy Vella has been observing Robert Smith and The Cure since 1981.
