~ Cure Trades ~

Hi and welcome to my Cure Trades!  If you're a Cure fan, chances are you are also a collector, or wish to be one.  I have a small number of unofficial and bootleg Cure recordings which I would be happy to trade for other Cure things I don't have.  I am interested in trading ANYTHING Cure related, as I also collect magazines, books, t-shirts, buttons, and so forth. 

If you are a new collector and have absolutely nothing to trade, I will send you one free burned CD of your choice.  Of course, I am a softy and might be talked into more if I think you're really cool.

I will always reserve my trades to items you cannot purchase in a regular music store, so please do not ask for a studio album.  The list below is all I have to trade at this time.

Email me at pretendingtoswim@msn.com if you are interested.  Thanks and happy Cure collecting!

~Rarities~

Here's a collection of unusual Cure recordings, sure to make you happy.  I will say that a couple of the songs are marred by a radio announcer's voice at the beginning and end, but they are versions not easily found elsewhere.  I haven't been unduly disturbed by the announcer's voice, although it would be better without.  Still, an admirable collection!
