The Cure are set to release The Cure – Novembre: Live in France 2022, featuring live recordings of two new, previously unreleased, songs.
The double A-Side 12″ single, released 1 October, is released on environmentally friendly vinyl and features two tracks recorded live during the French leg of The Cure’s Shows Of A Lost World tour.
Expected to appear on the long-awaited new Cure album, Songs Of A Lost World, And Nothing Is Forever was recorded in Montpellier and I Can Never Say Goodbye in Toulouse.
All profits to benefit the climate charity Earth Percent, founded by Brian Eno, as part of The Naked Record Club.
True Innovators
Eno said: “I’d like to thank The Cure and Naked Record Club – both true innovators – for their generous support of vital climate projects through the release of The Cure – Novembre: Live In France 2022. It’s a powerful example of how the music community can work together to build a better world.”
Naked Record Club, co-founded in 2022 by Simon Parker and Rachel Lowe, releases limited edition records made from sustainable vinyl. The records are made from non-toxic polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which Naked describe as the most recyclable plastic in the world. They also use a paperless printed label to further decrease their carbon footprint and increase recyclability, while the sleeves are made from sustainable PEFC-certified paper and EPEA-certified inks, as well as being plastic-free.
A Different Way To Live
Simon Parker said: “When I bought The Head On The Door back in 1985, the teenage version of myself was shown a different way to live my life. My love of The Cure gave me the confidence to quit my dreary hometown in search of a band hellbent on indie-rock glories of their own, and one way or another I have worked in music ever since.
“So, when Robert Smith told me he wanted to work with Naked Record Club on an eco-release for Earth Percent to raise climate change awareness in the music industry, I was astonished, excited and dumbstruck in equal measures.
“To make matters even more surreal, I was at the Montpellier show where one side of this exclusive 12″ single was recorded. So that’s me clapping and shouting in the run out of And Nothing Is Forever!”
Available to order from 2pm on Friday 30 August, records 1-100 will be signed by Robert Smith
and will only be available here. Records numbered 101-5000 will be sold on the Naked Record Club store here
