NAKED Record Club announce the release of The Cure’s first new material in 16 years

THE CURE - NOVEMBRE: LIVE IN FRANCE 2022

NAKED Record Club announces ’THE CURE – NOVEMBRE: LIVE IN FRANCE 2022’, a double A-Side 12” Eco-Vinyl single featuring two live tracks recorded during the French leg of The Cure’s ‘Shows of a Lost World’ tour.

NAKED Record Club was co-founded in 2022 by Simon Parker and Rachel Lowe. Naked releases limited edition records made from sustainable vinyl. Naked records are made using a ground-breaking injection-moulding machine that uses 80-90%* less electricity than traditional steam vinyl pressing machines. It is currently one of only two machines in the world.

The records are made from non-toxic P.E.T. (Polyethylene Terephthalate), the most recyclable plastic in the World; they also feature a paperless printed label to decrease their carbon footprint further and increase recyclability, the sleeves are made from sustainable PEFC certified paper and EPEA certified inks and the packaging is plastic free and made from FSC certified recyclable packaging. In addition, Naked Record Club deliveries are made using DHL / Deutsche Post’s Globalmail’s “GoGreen” service.

The Cure and Naked Record Club will donate 100% of the net profits from sales of this record to the climate charity https://www.earthpercent.org/, founded by Brian Eno.

Of this release, Naked Record Club co-founder Simon Parker says:

“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’!”
