OK, so we were supposed to get a new Cure album this year.

Unless they do a My Bloody Valentine in the next two weeks, I think we are going to have to assume that isn’t going to happen.

Back in 1987, on the Kissing tour, The Cure finished their gig with a take on Slade’s perennial Christmas fave ‘Merry Xmas Everybody.’ I don’t believe this was ever commercially released but for fun, here it is.

A few years later, The Mission recorded a version under the name the Metal Gurus, which was commercially released, so for more fun, here you go!
