"The Commercial Single" was released to promote The Commercial Album by the Residents. It was released in the United Kingdom and France and, despite being called a single, included eight songs: six songs from the album and two (unlisted) bonus tracks, all clocking in at one minute.
Despite its title and running time, this release would more traditionally be considered an EP.
Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or single:
“From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.”

“His virtues walked their narrow round,
Nor made a pause, nor left a void;
And sure the Eternal Master found
The single talent well employed.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
