Bonjour ... I have redeemed this "Press-Kit" to this collector on TCR ... I doubt that it was distributed in this way !!! Initially as usual, Metronome distributed in Germany before commercial issue: a normal album + Promo Sheet(s) + b&w photo(s) ... For me the rest, ie the plastic bag and the keyring is added back !!! ... On the bag any promo mark ... I bought the series of keyrings "Cure Album" between 2000/2005 !!! That's what I can say about this press kit ... Regards.

    The key ring is not guaranteed!

    So if you bought an LP from The Cure`s Head on the Door or from Double`s Blue, you got this plastic bag. Both albums were released in 1985. Maybe then somehow belongs to the album.

Hi ! Does anyone know if the bag was too given free when we buy the album (like the Wish bag) ? I own it but I don't really know where does it come from. Thanks in advance. :) regards / Rod x

    The Black Folder with silver The Cure font belongs to The Head on the Door Germany Promo Lp.

    Nice bag though, seems The Cure in France had some wonderful promotional items over the years. Nevertheless, it would be almost impossible without manufacturer proof that these bags were produced via Fiction. Which record stores distributed them? Were they large franchises or small independent shops. Sukiac I believe you propose an important question, "who paid for these to be made?" In Australia, I never saw these ever. Wish Chris Parry could do a Q & A for us.

Yes, I also think that the key fob and the carrying case are not part of the set, so the key fob was available from different albums in 2004. Please remove the webmaster using the black folder with The Cure silver font from Kis Me UK Promo, Item 4599. thx

Sending scans of promo folder  
   
By Pheel242 (0) Jan, 21 6:18 AM
Hi webmaster, I am sending scans of a promo folder that came with my copy. It's a simple black folding cover with an image of the front cover stuck to the front. Inside an undated single press release in German on Metronome stationery, double-sided. Also included are 2 small photos with dates 5/86 and Metronome credits and logo.
       
    webmaster Jan, 21 5:38 PM
    Beautiful never seen folder! From the pictures it's hard to say how large the folder is. Can you confirm? Even if the record that came with it is 0446, in order to list the item we'll need the actual scans of that record. Following this rule is the only way to guarantee the item really is what it is.

    And finally you say your inner is a match to the one shown in the site, did you mean is a mixed? i had to search the different meanings of that word :) with my poor english...i donâ??t know if i missunderstood your message In that case, which are the differences? Would be interesting to see a scan or a picture of both sides of the inner in they are different
       
    rafacure (498) Jan, 21 5:30 AM
    Hi Pheel. Everything is possible from PolyGram Spain...they have done so many different pressings that many times they only changed the labels on the vinyl keeping the sleeves from previous releases, including the credits. So it could be possible that the inner belongs to that edition, although as i said in the other post, the most common is that the rereleases from Eurogram from 1990 onwards came with white plain inner sleeve. Not all of them, for example Faith with pink labels came with printed inner sleeve. What means i have to search for your edition with printed inner sleeve :). So good spot!!! One question: is it printed in the corner of the inner sleeve the month and the year? For example 08/83

The Cure in Japan 1987  
   
By webmaster Jan, 17 12:24 AM
The Cure visited Japan that year, about 2/3 months before the start of the Kissing tour in Canada. The Kiss me album was the first album released by Polydor Japan, leaving Vap behind. A few appearances were arranged in a wide variety of TV shows, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?... We suspect the drawing on this card could have to do with a contest organized by Polydor, possibly related to one of these TV appearances. Other interesting videos are https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    By the way, the drawing and the autographs are printed. Description updated.
       
    webmaster Jan, 20 6:09 PM
    I wish I knew. They are found together and do make sense, so that is our main guess. Those dates the Kiss Me album wasn't out yet, but Why can't I be you only. Without further info, we find it feasible enough. There're a few similar examples across the site we simply take as what they look (when we trust the source), like the recently listed 17 Secs promo with 7 Records flyer announcing Boys don't cry.

As most of you pointed out, it seems like there were no two different samplers, but just one item housing the inlay AND the folder. Collectors who have item 3060 in their collections, beware this item will be removed from the site soon. We are glad to include the extra sheets sent by Cure1980. It's taken ages, Darren, sorry about that. And thanks so much for scanning them all. It's a great piece of info and a pleasure to read.
