The Cure released their first single from 'Disintegration', 'Lullaby', as a single on April 10th 1989.⠀
⠀
Thirty years ago!!⠀
⠀
It was their highest charting single in the UK, reaching number five and a memorable performance on Top of the Pops.⠀
⠀
"We're supping a beer on the roof of the BBC studio in White City where The Cure have spent most of the day preparing for Top Of The Pops appearance. They find themselves sandwiched between Diana Ross and Debbie Gibson. We keep bumping into Diana in the BBC corridors and a curious relationship is built up. Every time we pass, Simon Gallup greets her⠀
with a hearty bark. The way one would greet a newspaper vendor on the way to work in the morning.⠀
Diana is obviously bemused and finally wonders who these odd people are. "We are The Cure", Simon announces with authority, as though he's part of an⠀ eccentric English tribe. Diana smiles, as though she'd already decided as much.⠀
⠀
It proves to be a trying day for The Cure After all the waiting, the endless rehearsals, they are ready to do the business. As they stroll into the studio, the BBC producer decides that Robert's slurred make up is too much for the nation's pop kids to bear. Refusing to⠀ compromise, they march back to their dressing-room. Five minutes later, an apologetic Beeb official saunter in to tell them that it will be alright after all."⠀
Melody Maker 6 May 1989⠀
⠀
"What's real about spending all day at Top Of The Pops and someone deciding we can't go on after Diana Ross because they don't like my eye make-up?⠀
Robert Smith, Melody Maker 29 April 1989⠀
⠀
The single also reached number one in Poland.⠀
'Fascination Street' was the first single from the album to be released in the US, which felt a bit odd at the time.⠀
