Cure
Cheryl McEnaney wrote, A cool true story: my boss, mentor, and friend Martin and I were directly behind The Cure's first U.S. record deal. We collected vinyl imports and both discovered the band's 1979 debut as a French import. Then I found both "Seventeen Seconds" and "Faith" on UK copies. We loved the music and took the records to our A&R head, and the rest is history."
Happily Ever Afterwas the American repackage of Faith and Seventeen Seconds. It was the first Cure album on A&M Records. It was released in 1981. In 1982, the group released Pornography on A&M. The Cure also contributed their song "Fascination Street" to the Lost Angels soundtrack for A&M Records.
