"Accuracy" turns up on Three Imaginary Boys, the Cure's debut album, which Fiction released on 8 May 1979, and the credits show a lean three-piece: Robert Smith on guitar and lead vocals, Michael Dempsey on bass and Lol Tolhurst on drums. All three share the music credit, with Smith writing the words. Chris Parry produced, and Mike Hedges engineered.
Smith never made peace with the record. The label picked the songs, the running order and even the sleeve without his say-so, and he has insisted on full creative control over every Cure album since. Looking back in 1987, he said he had been angst-ridden and dislocated when he made it and could hear no real emotion in it at all.
