The US release had a different track order, included the "censored" single version of "The Modern World", and added the single "All Around the World" which was released in the UK between their first two albums. "All Around the World" had been their biggest UK hit to date, peaking at #13, a placement they would not match until 1979 when "The Eton Rifles" peaked at #3. Thereafter, no domestically released single by The Jam would ever reach a peak position lower than #4.

The only single from the album was the censored version of "The Modern World". While it was a minor hit, peaking at #36, it failed to capitalise on the success of "All Around the World".
