Description
This is the The Cure's 1981 'Faith' vinyl LP and it is HAND-SIGNED on the rear cover by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup and Lol Tolhurst. It is FIX 6 on Fiction Records.
The signatures are very simple: just 'Simon', 'Robert' and (I think) 'Laurence'. (Please see the images).
The cover and sleeve are both in good/ very goodcondition with no folds or tears. The vinyl appears to be in good/very good condition with no visible marks or scratches. A4 EM and B4 EM.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
Most of this time he was the producer and presenter of the nightly rock programme on Radio Trent in Nottingham (which, from 1984 was also broadcast on Leicester Sound and the in Derby from 1988).
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.
I know he interviewed The Cure around 1981 - possible when promoting this album - as I also had two other signed Cure albums signed by the same three which I have now listed and sold
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
Over the last year I have already listed similar items such as original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies. There are still many more for me to get through, so I will regularly be listing new items.
All vinyl will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
