- The album was released on vinyl in 2019, with the second track, "Ghost", removed from the tracklist at Ben Ely's insistence.Band manager Paul Curtis stated: "Ben wanted to remove GHOST but I thought it was a good inclusion and argued as such. It was personal and what the song meant to him. Some things run deeper than the obvious unfortunately." "I Wanna Be A Nudist" was moved into its position in the tracklist between "Happiness" and "Freshmint."
