The record has a 1991 copyright date, but there is no reference to it on any Rephlex promotional copy until its 1995 press release.[1][3][4] The Rephlex label regularly put out misinformation about their release catalogue, which may explain this.[5] Three pressings of the single are known to exist. Although all three have the same A-side track, the B-sides vary on the first two pressings and the third pressing has a grooveless B-side.
