The Cure in Japan 1987

By webmaster

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?...

		Copy of the printed card just came up for sale with a Japanese 12? commercial copy of Why Can?t I Be You to add some relevant context to this item

		Obviously this drawing refers to why canâ??t I be you ? The bear was on it and Robert looks like the WCIBU video

		By the way, the drawing and the autographs are printed. Description updated.

		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.

		Hi webmaster, I remember seeing this on eBay not too long ago! Do you really think this drawing on Polydor paper was given out with this VAP promo record? I'm guessing maybe the seller didn't know where else to keep the drawing, so it was kept in the sleeve of this record in order to preserve its apparently flawless condition. Maybe?
