Cult Hero
I'm A Cult Hero
b/w I Dig You
Original 1979 - Fiction Records
FICS 006

Very rare 7" single
Cult Hero was basically The Cure,
Here's a little info about the release -

"The single was conceived by Robert Smith (singer/guitarist of The Cure) and Simon Gallup (then bassist of The Magspies) as a way to test their musical compatibility. Smith was considering Gallup as a prospective replacement for Michael Dempsey (The Cure's bassist at the time) "whose personality and ambitions for the band were seriously at odds" with Smith's. The songs were written for, and feature on vocals, local Horley postman Frank Bell, who is also featured on the single's artwork. They also feature ex-Cure guitarist Porl Thompson and Magspies keyboardist Matthieu Hartley amongst an extended lineup of friends and family, including Robert's sisters Janet and Margaret and local band The Obtainers."

UK single

1. "I'm a Cult Hero" - 2:59
2. "I Dig You" - 3:25

Unfortunatly there's damage to the sleeve, it's still in one piece but has a rather nasty rip down the left hand side.
A few creases and marks but as you probably know it's very hard to find these original Fiction pressings at all nevermind in mint condition.

The vinyl itself is lovely, no scratches, scuffs or anything that affects the playback of the 7"
Please have a look at the scans I've made below to see the sleeve damage for yourself.
Regardless of the condition it is a very rare Cure collectable and an important part of any serious Cure Collection.







Postage within the UK is £2
I prefer paypal but also accept personal cheques
