'''''Entreat''''' is a live album by the English [[Rock music|rock]] band [[the Cure]], recorded at London's [[Wembley Arena]] in July 1989. It consists entirely of songs performed from the band's 1989 record ''[[Disintegration (The Cure album)|Disintegration]]''; while they were on their international Prayer tour. Initially, ''Entreat'' was distributed exclusively in France as a promotional tool in 1989 and then was given away free by [[HMV]] stores in the UK and Ireland to customers who purchased two CDs from the band's back catalogue in May 1990. It was then given a full commercial release in March 1991.
The last two tracks were released in 1989 as B-sides to the US version of "[[Lullaby (The Cure song)|Lullaby]]". "[[Fascination Street]]", "[[Last Dance (The Cure song)|Last Dance]]", "[[Prayers for Rain (song)|Prayers for Rain]]", and "[[Disintegration (The Cure song)|Disintegration]]" were also included as [[B-side]]s on the "[[Pictures of You (The Cure song)|Pictures of You]]" CD single.
The re-release of ''Disintegration'' in 2010 featured a remastered version of ''Entreat'' remixed by Cure frontman [[Robert Smith (musician)|Robert Smith]], entitled ''Entreat Plus'' because it featured all twelve songs from the album, including the four excluded from the original. It was the first time the album was released worldwide, though it had already been released on CD before.
