Additional Comments:
This bootleg, like many other vinyl bootlegs, does not have the highest quality sound possible, but it is not bad. I bought it in early 1985 and it was my first introduction to Desperate Journalist and Do The Hansa (titled "Handsome" on the sleeve). The art work is really unique compared to most Cure bootlegs with cheesy reworked photos of the band. It simply has a small black and white watercolor of a strange little man tucked into his bed, on a tan colored cardboard cover. It seems to be pretty rare. I never saw it again after I bought it. It is on a record company called "love potion record cie". Overall, considering packaging, nostalgia, and the track listing it is one of my favorite bootlegs in my collection!
