Promotion:
UK: A specially pressed cd (CDRDJ6400) and 7" (RDJ6400) were sent to radio to promo this album as well as the "Boxers" single. These have a unique picture sleeve (view artwork in left frame). The cd features the songs "Have-A-Go Merchant" and "Whatever Happens, I Love You", while most of the 7"s have "Boxers" backed with "Have-A-Go Merchant" (even though they incorrectly list the same tracks as the promo cd). Some of the promo 7" have a plugger sticker on them. The album itself wasn't distributed for promotion.

Brazil: The song "Boxers" was included on two different various artists promo cds sent to radio at the time of release of this album. One was titled "Promo Dial 9 - Abril 95" (PP0037 2) and the other "Promo $ale - Abril 95" (PP0038 2).

Canada: Stock copies of the cd were sent to radio with a press release from Warner Music Canada.

Japan: Promo cds were sent to radio with a red and white promo sticker on the case and 'Sample not for sale' etched on the cd's inner ring.

USA: A Sire/Reprise advance cassette with blue insert was first sent for promotion of this album. Then gold stamped copies of the stock cd served the same purposes. A one-track cd of "Boxers" (Sire/Reprise, PRO-CD-7372, no artwork to display) was also sent to radio to promote this album as well as the "Boxers" single.
