Alternative Physical Version
Although the single was never released officially on a physical format, a consortium of Feeder's supporters submitted various designs for an alternative to the front cover artwork for the single. The designs were then voted on, with the best one then being submitted to an external company not involved with the band who manufacture digipacks. Each member of the consortium paid a small sum of money to one member of the consortium group, who then contacted and liased with the digipacks manufacturer. The resulting digipacks were therefore empty, with the owner downloading the single and b-sides before burning them onto a CDR to place in the digipack, in the same order as indicated on the reverse.

“Genius is no more than childhood recaptured at will, childhood equipped now with man’s physical means to express itself, and with the analytical mind that enables it to bring order into the sum of experience, involuntarily amassed.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
