On this day, December 6, 1983, The Cure released their compilation album Japanese Whispers. The album collected a trio of singles and their accompanying B-sides, including “Let’s Go to Bed,” “The Walk,” and “The Love Cats,” showcasing the band’s shift toward a more playful and synth-driven sound during this era.

While Japanese Whispers reached #26 in the UK and #181 on the Billboard charts, it marked an important transitional phase for The Cure, blending their post-punk roots with the burgeoning pop sensibilities that would define their later work.
