I am happy the album gets finally released, but this is how the release date is officially announced, some people get a postcard? Yes, there will be obviously another announcement later on social media and so on, but still strange.
Do we know what made these people eligible for getting this card?
From what I can glean, the cards are being sent to people (UK only so far) who ordered certain merch from the online store.
may you be more certain please?
what was that special merch?!
the limited signed vinyl perhaps?

Well, the guy on steve hoffman bought a few tour posters apparently. So maybe just Shows Of A Lost World merch? Not sure which merch triggered the mail shot. I would have expected to see more people posting images of the cards if it was any merch

I've just received a saucy postcard from Bognor Regis from a guy called Bob

Not sure that the user who got the card has read it yet,maybe the card shines or has got another msg. upon?Me sayin' foolish things as usual but you never know...
It seems bizarre to me, why give the official album launch date to people who bought goods from the Cure Store and nobody else?? Why ignore the people who go to gigs, buy their posters and t shirts from the gigs, and, why ignore the people who buy all their music? Announcing the album to people who may have bought posters or a bucket hat makes no sense.

I mean, it's just a card. If they're drip feeding the info this is as good a way as any.
I would totally put Robert down as someone who would plan and execute an ARG to complete before releasing the album... And I kind of wish he did.

Just read these 2 comments on a hmmm -cough- Morrissey board :
"Reeves has made a post about it on social media and Eden Gallup has posted lyrics to the song Alone. Looks like it’s happening!" & "Eden Gallup and Reeves have made hints on their respective accounts. The official website change is the real turning point."
Anyone can confirm ?
As a coda : it will be hard for me to play any instruments until it's released (fingers crossed !)

Maybe there will be an announcement shortly, and the cards are intended to coincide with that, and maybe Mr card just got his earlier than intended due to some post delivery factor?
I think .... if there aren't mass posts on social media from people who have received this card over the next couple of days, then it's a hoax.
FWIW I received a postcard promoting FROGS by Nick Cave earlier this year. Not every fan did. I suspect a few get posted out in the knowledge that it will get the hype going on social media. Which it has.

Probably this. It's quite a genius way of promoting without having to spend a mountain of money on promotion
