Description
This double LP from The Cure received a rave review from Rolling Stone upon its 1987 release. To wit:
EVEN IN A year already marked by sprawling, ambitious double albums from Prince and Hüsker Dü, the Cure‘s new Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me stands out. Like Sign o’ the Times and Warehouse: Songs and Stories, this two-record, eighteen-song set is about reaching inward. The Cure is trying to deepen and refine an existing sensibility rather than reach outward to expand it. On previous efforts, guitarist and singer Robert Smith has flirted with everything from conceptually orchestrated studio pop (The Top) to sarcastic dance tracks (“Let’s Go to Bed”); now that the Cure has evolved into an actual band, he’s able to consummate those eclectic desires. Kiss Me is a breakthrough all right. For the first time, the Cure’s music is relatively unfettered by pretension and indulgence, and the results are remarkable.

Photos of all 4 sides are available. I listed this before I could post them and could not revise the listing with the additional photos because a bid came in during the first hour.
