THE CURE - Three Imaginary Boys - LP - 180g Vinyl

LP - 180g Black Vinyl (Remastered). 

The debut studio album by The Cure, originally released in May 1979. The album found the band in their pre-hair lacquer days playing a form of primitive post-punk that was compared at the time to Wire or Joy Division. 

Before they honed their patented blend of dark melodies and gothic textures, The Cure made catchy, if angular, pop-punk. Maybe it was youthful exuberance or perhaps it was the fact that the band itself was not pulling all the strings, Three Imaginary Boys is not only a very strong debut, but a near oddity (it's an admittedly "catchy" record) in The Cure cataloue. More poppy and representative of the times it was made that any other album during their long career, this is a semi-detached bit of late-'70s English pop-punk.
