The UK version of this CD has two more tracks: "Everything Is" and "Snow Song Pt. 1," both of which are taken from the Everything Is single, reportedly without Jeff Mangum's permission. On the vinyl, "Pree-Sisters Swallowing a Donkey's Eyes" is 3:28 long. The UK version also has a different cover, with artwork by Jill Carnes of Thimble Circus. In recognition of the 10th anniversary of the album's release, a reissue on Fire Records was scheduled for the summer of 2006. This has been delayed, and the label is now listing an "early 2007" release date.
