The Cure will release a set of download-only tracks as part of a compilation this month.

The tracks will be re-recordings of some of the band's classics including Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography. They will be released through iTunes as part of an album called 4play.

The tracks were reworked in the summer of 2005 and were produced by Mike Hedges.

Also featuring on the record will be four new interviews with Robert Smith.
