I must start by saying this record and poster etc are not mine
but belongs to a friend, we had been chatting about the bands
we used to see in a pub in Milton Keynes in the late 70's,
my claim to fame was seeing The Specials AKA and
The Undertones among others in the tiny venue in MK.For some reason, maybe it was because there was another
show in town although I cannot remember what, but I decided
not to go and see this band called The Cure who were on there
first tour, I had just never heard of them at the time. My friend
did however go to see them and took his copy of their album
Three Imaginary Boys to the gig along with some other bits
and bobs he had related to them like some press pics his mate
at the local paper had given him as well as a poster he's got
from a local record shop advertising their debut single.He has had these things literally in his attic along with some
other stuff for 40 years, (the mind boggles what he has kept
but then again I'm just as bad!) So today I met up with him
and I had to take some pics of the record and poster as these
items and in this condition are virtually unheard of these days.
He has no plans to sell them as he's still a keen collector but I
thought I would share them with you as they are quite incredible.
My guess is each member has signed next to the
household item they relate too.
They also signed the inside sleeve - note Robert Smith
writing middle top where he's written 'my house'
1st press release & photos
A tiny stamp sized unused sticker with a pic of Lol Tolhurst
Promo poster which came from a record shop in Northampton
fully signed in the middle which he told me hasn't been out of
the record sleeve since May 1979! crackers.
