For a couple of years now I've had a copy of the single for "Lullaby" on CD, and one thing that's always bothered me is that all of the info on it that I can find says that it came out in April 1989, yet it has two live songs ("Homesick" and "Untitled") from The Cure's shows in Wembley Arena of that same year, in June. So my question is... do The Cure have a time machine?

According to discogs.com, the "Lullaby" CD does not contains the songs you're talking about:

What's the code's catalog of the CD you own?
2023.11.22 Lima

A clarification from the library:

QuoteLullaby
USA
Elektra did not release "Lullaby" in the USA until several months later than the UK. As "Babble" and "Out Of Mind" had  previously appeared as B sides on "Fascination Street", live versions of "Homesick" and "Untitled" feature as B side tracks. (...)

CD (966664-2) "Lullaby", "Lullaby" (extended), "Homesick" (Live) and "Untitled" (Live)

Any word on when the actual release date was?
