The album's titles are both taken from the opening lyrics of The Cure's debut single "Killing an Arab". The "New Voice - New Mix" of "Boys Don't Cry" (released as a single little over a fortnight before ''Standing on a Beach'') is not featured on the album; thus the album's singles span only from 1978 to 1985. The same mix has never again been released onto a compilation album. The version of "A Forest" here is neither the album version (which was also on the 12" single), nor is it the 7" single edit (which removes a few bars between verses and fades out part way through the guitar solo ending).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Cure – Standing On A Beach - The Singles )〕 ==Release formats== The album was released in three formats, vinyl record, compact disc and audio cassette. The vinyl edition is a collection of all thirteen of The Cure's commercially released singles up to that point in chronological order. "10:15 Saturday Night" is dropped though, possibly because it was only released in France. The CD edition features the same tracks as the vinyl edition, but also includes an extra track from four of the band's albums. The four songs, although not released as singles, all had music videos made for them. The cassette edition features the same tracks as the vinyl edition, but also contains all of the band's b-sides that had not, to that point, received a long-play release. This excludes "10:15 Saturday Night" from the "Killing an Arab" single, which was released on the ''Three Imaginary Boys'' album, "Plastic Passion" from the "Boys Don't Cry" single, which was released on the ''Boys Don't Cry'' album, and the five b-sides from the "Let's Go to Bed", "The Walk" and "The Love Cats" singles, which were released on the ''Japanese Whispers'' compilation album. However, the b-side "Mr. Pink Eyes" from the 12" version of "The Lovecats" was omitted from ''Japanese Whispers'', and so was included on this release. These releases were accompanied by a VHS and laserdisc release, a music video collection named ''Staring at the Sea: The Images'' with the same setlist as CD version of the album. All the b-sides on the cassette edition were also later released on the first disc of the ''Join the Dots'' compilation in 2004. The album has been certified 2x platinum in the U.S. Also missing is the special "Lament" 'Flexipop' single from 1982, as this was not a proper single, and "I'm a Cult Hero" from 1979, probably because it was released under a different band name, Cult Hero. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Standing on a Beach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
