The Cure
Killing An Arab/10.15 Saturday Night
Small Wonder Records : Small 11
Here is an EXCELLENT copy of The Cure's first single, released on the Small Wonder record label, and dates from 1978. This is the original release, Matrix A1/B1 and is in fantastic condition.
The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with their debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre.
After the release of Pornography (1982), the band's future was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began to inject more of a pop sensibility into the band's music. The Cure's popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world.
The record is in EXCELLENT condition and plays very well, with slight surface noise, as you would expect. The picture sleeve is also in EXCELLENT condition with slight ring wear and minor creasing.
All records are well packaged in quality mailers and sent recorded delivery in the UK and with adequate compensation, depending on selling price, if sent abroad.
