Also, you can hear the song The Only One at the official site.
The front of thecure.com has been changed to reflect the new single.

While the band was in Boston, Robert was interviewed by Radio 104.5 listener, Pat McCay backstage at The Spectrum. Here's the biggest highlights:

** The album will be a single disc... not double, as was reported before.

** Robert will be working with Tim Pope on a 30th Anniversary DVD. This DVD will include a concert from 1989 which they filmed. He says it's from a Texas Stadium. But the thing is there is an interview of Roger that was done in San Diego 1989 and he revealed that they'll be filming the Mansfield show at the end of the tour. He may have just got confused. I've uploaded the interview on my server. Listen here.

So he may have confused the venues, but from this interview, the show may be Mansfield, Sept. 23, 1989. Unless after San Diego they changed their minds and did a Texas show. I guess we will find out for sure sometime soon!
