Somebody stop me if this is already around here on the forum, but I needed a question to be answered.

I know how LM and QR handle releases of studio albums, live albums, DVD's, and so on, but the big mystery is singles. I had seen in the shop The Mummer's Dance and Marco Polo, but what of the others? I know from Wikipedia about these singles;

"The Lady of Shalott" (1991)
"All Souls Night" (1991)
"Courtyard Lullaby" (1991)
"Greensleeves" (1993)
"The Bonny Swans" (1994)
"Santiago" (1994)
"The Dark Night of the Soul" (1994)
"The Mystic's Dreams" (1995)
"God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" (1995)
"The Mummers' Dance" (1997) #18 Billboard Hot 100, #17 Billboard Modern Rock [3]
"Marco Polo" (1998)
"Caravanserai" (2006)
"Penelope's Song" (2007)
"The Seven Rejoices of Mary" (2008)
"Noël Nouvelet!" (2008)

Are these only made in promotional copy and then made digital at the release? I have not even seen digital sales for the song itself as a single in the online music databases. I have seen, however covers from singles from the The Visit era, or age of LM's music. Why were these published?

Thanks.

There are thumbs of the single covers, and it appears that there's no b-sides but only edits and remixes to songs.
