Description
Specials
This is a VERY RARE album of the music group The Cure, titled Specials. It contains Demo versions, John Peel sessions and Kid Jensen sessions between '77 and '82. Only 200 were made (this is #71). It's a 2 RECORD SET made in 1987 by Rock Records (catalog #RR-11-CU). Both records are beautiful GREEN MARBLE VINYL. The cover is VG+ only has slight ring wear and seam wearing and bending. The records are in VG- to VG+ condition depending on the side. There are some minor scuffs and scratches causing some crackles and static in a couple of songs and a skip in one. I'll give a complete breakdown below as to the condition of each side where you see [condition: ].
