My absolute favorite of all The Cure re-releases has been Blue Sunshine by The Glove. As much as I like the tracks as they are, my favorite songs off the original were the ones sung by Robert Smith. So when the re-released disc came out, I was thrilled that they included not only “new” old songs, but also the demos that Robert sang on. This song was originally sung by Budgie’s (drummer of Siouxsie and The Creatures) girlfriend and former dancer, Jeanette Landray.

miss this sound, nice to hear again!
Sorry if this will disappoint you, but all these Glove demos have new fresh vocals. These vocals didn’t come from 83, they’re new vocals.
Oh, I didn’t know that. That’s really interesting that they’d take the time to re-record actually. Thanks for the info!
