Notes
"Fascination Street" was released as a single on 18 April 1989 in North America only.
"Lullaby" had originally been designated as the first single from the forthcoming album "Disintegration". Elektra, The Cure's record company in North America, objected to this and chose Fascination Street as lead single instead.
Given its remarkable success around the world, Lullaby was given a single release in North America as well later in 1989.

- There is also a promo version of this: usual gold lettering ("Lent for promotional use only .... to the Above") on rear upper sleeve. Don't see it listed or even mentioned
Hard to believe there are so many of these out there... anyone know if these were mass produced for profit? Or if there are unmarked bootlegs floating around?
That single has a different mastering than main LP version. It sounds more dirty, and raw in definition.
- I was lucky to purchase a sealed mint copy in 2021 and the sound is perfect, dynamic and open.
It sounds better than on the 2018 remaster on the mixed-up vinyl, which sounds too compressed.
Especially the drums sound better on this original 12”
While I agree with the previous comment that the b-side is not mastered at the same level, it is still a great sound and a listening pleasure. 
I always liked the extended remix of this song. Powerful sound on this pressing. However, there is a strong decline in terms of sound and mastering quality with regard to the B-side tracks. They sound heavily compressed and distorted. It's a pity as Out Of Mind is a nice song.
