The Cure / Novembre: Live in France 2022
Eco vinyl for charity
The Cure will release a new 12-inch single in October called Novembre: Live in France 2022.
The vinyl record features two live tracks recorded during the French leg of The Cure’s ‘Shows of a Lost World’ tour in 2022 and is notable for being issued via Naked Record Club, which offer limited edition releases made from sustainable vinyl.
They use an injection-moulding machine that is estimated to use 80-90 percent less electricity than traditional steam vinyl pressing machines, with the records being made from non-toxic P.E.T. (Polyethylene Terephthalate – recyclable plastic). They also use a “paperless” printed label and sleeves made from FSC certified recyclable packaging.
The Cure and Naked Record Club will be donating 100 percent net profits from sales of this record to the climate charity Earth Percent founded by Brian Eno.
5,000 records are being pressed. 1-100 are available signed by Robert Smith and will be sold on The Cure’s online store. The rest are via Naked Record Club’s website.
Pre-order starts at 2pm on Friday 30 August. The record is released on 1 October 2024.
