Standard CD Release
A non-interactive, audio-only CD was released simultaneously with Rundgren's preferred sequence. Even this version, however, played on the theme of interactivity and orderlessness: its nearly continuous flow supported random play, and its paper insert could be refolded and reinserted so as to display any of 16 alternate versions of the cover art.
Another version of the album, No World Order Lite, was released the following year, presenting the same material in a more song-oriented format.
In Japan, a promotional disc called "NWO (Version 1.01)" was released that contained alternate versions of some of the songs.
Another Version compiling all of the previous versions plus other bonus tracks titled: "Todd Rundgren - No World Order Expanded Edition" was released by Esoteric/Cherry Red Records November 8, 2011. Some listings for this set have a slightly different listing for disc 2, losing one song.

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or release:
“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
