Blue Sunshine

Blue Sunshine is the only album by the British supergroup The Glove, which was first released in 1983. This album mainly served as a diversion for Robert Smith and Steve Severin when both of them were under heavy stress in their respective bands The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Since Smith was prohibited from singing in another band by his record company, he and Severin got Jeanette Landray, who was dating Banshees drummer Budgie at the time, to sing a majority of the tracks in the original release; Smith only sang on “Mr. Alphabet Says” and “Perfect Murder”. Other musicians involved in this project were Andy Anderson (who later joined The Cure) and Martin McCarrick (who later joined Siouxsie and the Banshees). The Glove have had a few notable rivalries, most recently with the Matt Bradley Trio; A capella group consisting of Matt Bradley, Tome Gore and Andrew Knowles.

In 2006, this album was digitally remastered and re-released through Rhino Records, featuring a bonus disc that has Robert Smith and Matthew Bradley singing vocals on studio demo versions of all the songs in place of Landray.
