The Cure "Three Imaginary Boys"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Lilith Records, Russia, 2007, LR 130 LP, 8013252913013, 180g Vinyl, Reissue

Released on 8 May 1979 by Fiction Records, Three Imaginary Boys is a raw, jagged, and surprisingly sprightly debut that captures The Cure long before they became the definitive icons of gothic rock. Played by the original power trio of Robert Smith (vocals/guitar), Lol Tolhurst (drums), and Michael Dempsey (bass), the album delivers a minimalist, twitchy slice of late-'70s English post-punk and new wave. While the record famously suffered from a lack of band control over its sequencing and design, it remains an essential, charming time capsule of a legendary band finding its footing.
