Cover art for The Cure's debut studio album 'Three Imaginary Boys' released in May 1979.
Martyn Goddfard recalls, “The still life on the cover of The Cure’s debut album was conceived by Polydor sleeve designer Bill Smith. I had worked with Bill on The Jam’s In the City album and The Cure were another new act the label was about to promote. There was a problem however; the band didn’t want their portraits on the cover. We came up with using common household goods to represent the band members. The record’s title focusing in on “Imaginary” was a help with our final concept. I wanted to use the bright pink background as it would stand out in the point of sale record racks and I happened to have a roll of pink colorama paper in the studio.”

A great print deserves a great frame. At Rockarchive we would be delighted to advise you on how best to select the right frame for your print. Please just let us know when you place your order or contact us once you have received your print and we will discuss the various options with you.
If you live in London we can arrange to get your print framed for you. Once the print is framed you can either collect it from our London Rockarchive Studio, in Kentish Town or we can arrange for it to be delivered to your London address (at an extra charge).
