Did this release come with a generic sleeve, or was it in the regular picture sleeve inside the poster?

This single is one of the most important of the band which, in 1985, with the album "The Head On The Door", brought the Cure to international success.

Wow. The slower early 90’s shuffle beat remix version from the Mixed Up era is perhaps better known - but the original is where it’s at.

Fantastic groove, production and all around perfect pop song.

If anything it sounds better with every ing year _because_ it’s from so long ago _and_ still sounds fresh and new.

A real crowd pleaser for the 40-50 somethings make no mistake! 😎
