The Cure “Pictures of You” 1990. Fiction Records, 12″ single. “Pictures of You” was The Cure’s final single from their 1989 album Disintegration. It’s painful and beautiful (apparently written by Robert Smith after a house fire; the single’s sleeve is a photo of his wife that he was able to salvage),  this 12″ has the Extended Remix (by Bryan “Chuck” New), the regular-length version went to #27 in the UK and #71 in the US. The B-side includes live versions of “Last Dance” and “Fascination Street,” recorded at Wembley in July ‘89. I love both of those tracks from Disintegration, too: both lush, melancholy and gorgeous.
