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).
Whilst the official name is "A Single", this release is often referred to as "The Hanging Garden" as a way of avoiding confusion.
