[edit] Trivia

  • The 10" release had different cover art to the European release, featuring a toy robot encapsulated in a light blue circle on a dark blue background.
  • The reason for the 10" release is due to UK single rulings stating 'a single cannot have more than 3 tracks and 20 minutes of music' to qualify for the UK Music Charts.
