The Cure – Standing on a Beach

Originally issued in 1986 on the heels of sixth studio effort The Head on the Door, Standing On A Beach (named after lyrics from The Cure’s debut single “Killing an Arab”) is a massively successful singles collection which documents the band’s first eight years and ever evolving sound, compiling all thirteen of their singles up to that point in chronological order. Spanning from the release of “Killing an Arab” through to “Close To Me,” Standing On A Beach remains the Cure’s most popular compilation and an ideal snapshot of the band’s most indispensable material.
