Reissues
The album has had a long afterlife with 4 CD editions and 2 vinyl reissues. The first CD was through Castle Music in 1993. In 1998 Cog Sinister, Mark E. Smith's own imprint released a poorly mastered edition with significant vinyl noise, however an improved edition followed almost immediately, again through Castle, adding 4 bonus tracks; "How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'", "City Hobgoblins", "Totally Wired" and "Putta Block", the last of these being slightly edited from the original "Totally Wired" single. The final and current edition is again on Castle, was properly remastered, adding the previous 4 bonus tracks ("Putta Block" still being slightly cut) and a "self-interview" by Mark E. Smith which had been used for promotional purposes upon the album's original release.
The original 10 track album was reissued on vinyl by the Turning Point label in 2002 with a 2LP edition being issued by Earmark in 2005. The latter edition replicated the definitive tracklisting of the 2004 CD.
