Earlier this year the Cure announced a new studio album was on the way, plus more limited edition releases were in the offing. Though so far those things haven't surfaced, the band recently unveiled a Beatles' cover of "Hello Goodbye" which is included on the upcoming Paul McCartney tribute The Art of McCartney. The standard version of the release also includes covers from Perry Farrell and Chrissie Hynde, while the limited edition vinyl version adds additional covers from Robert Smith and Ian McCulloch. The Art of McCartney arrives November 18th and is available to pre-order here.
