Additional information:
The first 7" is limited and slipped inside a gatefold sleeve. The second 7" single is a limited edition picture disc, slipped inside a transparent PVC sleeve. The 12" single is also a picture disc. It uses the same photo as the 7" on the a-side, but a different one on the b-side.

The title track is sometimes listed as a 'single edit' on certain download sites, but there no such thing. Only the album version is offered. The download-only version recorded live in Mexico listed above is sometimes miscredited as having been recorded in Chicago. The version of "I Want The One I Can't Have" live at the Royal Albert Hall 2002 is sometimes miscredited as being the one from Paris 2002. The digital version of the latter song features the walk-on church bells while the cd version doesn't.

The 12" single was limited to 1000 copies.

 

Artwork information:
Cd front, 7" and 12" a-side as well as 12" b-side artwork photography by Fabio Lovino. The photo appearing on the b-side of the 7" was taken by Jed Weitzman. The joke behind the latter photo is that Jed's stepfather is Henry Winkler who played Fonzie on the 1970s/1980s television programme "Happy Days". The image used on the reverse of the 12" single is also found inside the gatefold sleeve of the first 7".
