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