Description

This is a Mint copy of the Ultra Ultra Rare New Zealand version of the 12” 45rpm black vinyl pressing of The Cure’s ‘Primary’, released in 1981.


This 12” single followed the success of ‘A Forest’ and was pressed in Australia by 7 Records PTY Limited for distribution in New Zealand by STUNN Records, whose owner Terry Condon was great mates with fellow Kiwi Chris Parry, who managed The Cure. 


This was the original version issued in the plain white cover.


  • Matrix / Runout (Side A, runout, etched): MSD 493 A DB
  • Matrix / Runout (Side B, runout, etched): MSD 493 B DB


This 12’ single in its original plain white cover has never been played and stored in a vinyl sleeve in a climate controlled room since 1981 and was only taken out of its sleeve today for the first time to be photographed, so there are no spindle marks on either label and the vinyl is pristine. 

(This 12” single was stored alongside its twin - the STUNN 12” version of A Forest) 


Please let me know if you’d like any further information about this ultra rare collectors item. 


Thanks for viewing.
