On 5 May 1990, Polydor placed an advert in the British music press. If you buy any two of The Cure's albums at HMV you give away a limited edition of Entreat.
This album featured eight live tracks recorded in July 1989, during the Prayer Tour at Wembley Arena in London, mixed by Robert Smith and Bryan 'Chuck' New. This promotional release was available on CD and cassette only.
