Promotion:
UK: This single was the second of five consecutive ones promoted with the help of a retro-style promo 7" (POPDJ1625; view on the left). Some copies have a plugger sticker on the sleeve. Stock cd-singles with promo stickers on the back of the case also served more limited promotional purposes. "Our Frank" was also included on a Parlophone/Capitol various artists radio sampler cd subtitled "The Incredible Sound Machine". One-track In Phase and Capitol promo videos were also distributed to the relevent media.

France: The release of "Our Frank" was promoted in France with the help of stock copies of the EEC 7" (the standard pressing sold in France) stamped in the corner of the sleeve with a French promo warning

Japan: Promo cds are stock ones with a white and red promo sticker on the back and 'Sample not for sale' etched around the cd's inner ring. "Our Frank" was included on a various artists radio promo cd at the time of release of this single or the "Kill Uncle" album.

USA: Gold stamped copies of the 12" were the main promotional tool. A one-track promo cd of "Our Frank" was sent to radio in the USA, but this item was used mainly to promote the "Kill Uncle" album. "Our Frank" was included a various artists promo sampler titled "Schwartz Brothers Inc Compact Disc Sampler 8".
