The Cure - War Child Charity Raffle!

Entry Here: https://www.resident-music.com/productdetails&product_id=128134

Tickets cost £5 and all the donations will go to @warchild. You can purchase as many entries as you like!

We were one of a small number of very lucky independent records shops to be nominated by the remix artists (which for us happened to be Orbital) to receive a 1 of 24 @thecure acetate!

And as luck would have it, @orbitalband were popping in to sign copies of their new reissue of the ‘Brown Album’, so we asked them to sign our acetate too!

If you want to get your hands on this extremely rare piece of @thecure & @orbitalband 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.
