The acoustic version of the album, titled Completely Me, was released digitally on 6 December 2009 containing the same track listing as that of the standard album (except for "When You're Around"), but each song was re-recorded and stripped down.

The track listing is slightly different from the Original Complete Me album, it includes a reworked version of Made Her Smile from Turner's 2007 EP Frankisum. An instrumental version of each track is included on the digital version.
In April 2023 Turner managed to release a self funded blue vinyl version of the album. The vinyl had 100 signed copies that sold out quickly.{{cite tweet |author=Frankmusik |title=Plastic news |user=frankmusik |number=1641864189923713041 }}
