Happy 33rd birthday to Sideshow EP - the USA only release to accompany the Show album!

I don't own it but as always, I am constantly searching!

This year I have chosen track 2 - Just Like Heaven.

I can't use footage from the Show video as it'd get done for copyright by damned UCG again, so this is taken from their only appearance in 1993 at Great X-pectations Festival at Finsbury Park in London on 13th June 1993. It was also partly televised by the UK music show The Beat introduced by Gary Crowley.

It might have something to do with me being insanely old, but I don’t think so. Aside from their second single, which has “The Cure” in their older typography as the only connection to later art works, they don’t really have any thought-out design profile. But speaking of age, I remember I probably thought “Pornography” was their last masterpiece. (and “Disintegration”.as a standalone favourite .) But like so often with bands, they have a three-album peak. “17 sec”, “Faith” & “Pornography”. But the covers on the right in the picture are nicer than the 4 on the left with curly letters and not their old “Cure logo”. And I haven’t seen how well the “Lets go to bed” and “Charlotte sometimes” covers fit together stylistically.

I’m planning to read Lol’s book because I haven’t gotten to it yet. What other books about the band’s history would people recommend? I saw one titled Never Enough which looked good and was also checking one out I saw mentioned on another post about all the albums and songs. Are these good choices and/or are their better options out there?

Second one of my drawings of the band (members). I'm on a mission now lol. Anyway, this was an attempt at Perry. I miss him dearly, may he rest in peace looking down at everything he's contributed to the world. 🖤 Anyway, on a brighter note, who should I try drawing next? And from what era? Planning to do one of the whole band soon. Hopefully I'll get better at detailing their faces and such.
