The Cure - Robert Smith designs new sleeves

As expected, Robert Smith was not happy when he learned that the vinyl single he designed and signed for the Secret 7'' project wound up on Ebay.  In a post on the official Cure website, Smith revealed that he'll turn the tables on the Ebay seller by designing seven more singles that he'll personally design and sign, plus he's adding handwritten lyrics to the sleeves.  All of the singles will  be auctioned on Ebay and ALL of the money will go directly to the Teenage Cancer Trust charity.  Details about the new Ebay auction will be posted tomorrow.  

Read an excerpt from Robert Smith's post (he loves all caps!) below:.
