The Cure - Richard Skinner Sessions - BBC Studios, Langham

Citation :: Another post originally from PPTC. This one's also been devoid of downloaders, so I figured I'd share it here. I have several other BBC sessions to post, as well.

This was another post by lostflower4 at PPTC, so he really deserves the thanks for this one.

This performance was very rare and its very existence was questionable until recently.

This came as FM0, but I doubt this claim. Quality is unbelieveable (12/10). It's theorised this is from the BBC reels.

Special props to stranjluv101 for the Cure posts. Thanks!!!!!
