          I've also got a poster with my copy but am too useless to mess around with the version and fall foul of the cogniscenti

            Legendary psychedelic drug-fueled collaboration between The Cure's Robert Smith and Siouxsie & the Banshees' Steven Severin, featuring gorgeous vocals from Jeanette Landray. Playful, eerie, sometimes ecstatic and always trippy, will not disappoint Cure, Siouxsie or post-punk/goth fans in general. Standout tracks include "This Green City", which features a fabulously mesmorising guitar wail outro, the washed out druggy ambience and arythmic bass thudding of "A Blues in Drag", and the Alice-esque "Mr. Alphabet Says" (sung by Smith).

            Fantastic piece of the Cure/Siouxsie canon. Various CD reissues contain all kinds of demos and alternate versions, and the original LP is still fairly common it seems, going for a very reasonable price on here.
