Spindizzy raffle
To celebrate the release of The Cure's 'Mixes Of A Lost World', audio fragments from the album have been pressed to vinyl acetate.
We were one of a small number of very lucky independent records shops to be nominated by the remix artists to receive one!
The Acetate was played on request for a week in the store so has some play wear.
If you want to get your hands on this extremely rare piece of The Cure memorabilia, we're running a charity raffle on our website.
You have until 12pm (midday) Monday 9th June to enter. We will then draw a winner and notify them via email by the end of that day.
Tickets cost €10 and all the donations will go to War Child Charity. You can purchase as many entries as you like from our website, link in bio. 1 ticket = 1 entry. The more you buy the greater the chance! Remember ALL proceeds go to charity!!!!
Good Luck!
