It is alleged that initial copies of this album were released in a cardboard gatefold sleeve.  To date, I have never seen this version so suspect this may not be true.

A limited edition double CD was also planned for release but withdrawn a few weeks before.  The additional disc was planned to include a selection of cover versions performed acoustically by Miles Hunt.  The bonus CD was withdrawn because not all of the tracks had been recorded in time for their inclusion on the disc.  Instead, the tracks were planned to appear as additional tracks on future singles from the album.

Track listing for the bonus disc 'would' have been:
Apple Of My Eye
Ant Music
My Brother Jake
Whiskey In The Jar
