It was originally intended to be released with only the one B-side, "Tactics",[2] but the actual release came as a double-disc set, with the other disc being "Steal Away Child" and "Love So Cold". Two tracks were later used as b-sides for the Too Low for Zero and Breaking Hearts albums, and did not surface on a CD until the release of the 2020 box set Jewel Box where all three B-side tracks were included.
