Working diligently with my librarian hat on. I am really proud of how well we took care of our things and collectables…just kinda forgot. We have hundreds of quality pieces…some seldom seen especially in the U.S. Some are rare or at least hard to find. I welcome International Buyers…I know you have to pay high taxes for both countries …and it takes forever, but collecting is like that, I know.

If the record/tape/whatnot is a mess - you will know about it and see it, if it was a cut out, I will show and tell.  Nonsmoking home, original owners (okay a few finds in thrifting Years ago)...Happy to pass on to someone who wants it.

WE HAVE A WORKING REGA TURNTABLE, A GOOD NEEDLE AND A DOUBLE TAPE DECK -WE SPOT CHECK MOST EVERYTHING.

AllMusic Review by Andy Hinds

 

This 12" EP includes the Cure's unlikely dance hit "The Walk," along with the bouncy, whimsical "Upstairs Room" and "The Dream," plus the darker "La Ment" (which Robert Smith apparently wrote with Glove collaborator and Banshee Steven Severin), all of which are collected on the Japanese Whispers album. For that reason, this rare and out of print EP is only necessary for completists.
