The UK edition of the record, released in April 1992, entered the Dance Singles Chart at No. 10,[2] and the main Singles Chart at No. 55,[3] on 9 May.

"Digeridoo" does not contain an actual didgeridoo sample. Instead, James "labored for three days to concoct an electronic simulacrum of the primordial drone."[4]

The track "Flaphead" on the CD version of the EP is extended by about 20 seconds compared to the vinyl version (here titled "Flap Head").
