Description

Three Imaginary Boys was released on 8 May 1979 by record label Fiction. The record company decided which songs were put on the album, as well as the cover artwork, without Robert Smiths consent. For all Cure albums since, Smith has ensured he is given complete creative control over the final product before it goes on sale.[1] The Foxy Lady soundcheck, with vocals sung by Michael Dempsey, was not supposed to be on the album, and was removed for the American release. Smith has stated that songs like Object and World War and our cover of Foxy Lady were [Chris Parrys] choice.
