The version of "A Forest" here is the album version (which was also on the 12" single) but with the first 59 seconds removed; it is not the 7" single edit (which removes a few bars between verses and fades out part way through the guitar solo ending).
CD editions were titled "Staring at the Sea - The Singles", which include four extra tracks: "10:15 Saturday Night", "Play for Today", "Other Voices", and "A Night Like This". However all Australian and most Mexican CD editions were titled "Standing on a Beach - The Singles".
Double-play cassette editions were titled "Standing on a Beach - The Singles (And Unavailable B-Sides)".
This compilation was also released as a video album, titled "Staring at the Sea - The Images", which has the same tracklisting as the CD.
