About

Whilst the official name is "A Single", this release is often referred to as "The Hanging Garden" as a way of avoiding confusion. A Single was the first limited edition release by The Cure. It was released as a gatefold double pack of 7" singles with a total of four tracks. It has also been released as a 10" record which contains all four songs from the double 7" pack, as well as a single 7" featuring only " The Hanging Garden" and " Killing an Arab" (FICS 15).
