This album made many end of year 'Best Of' lists including that of the New Musical Express. The Central Station Design artwork was changed for the American edition.

An edition of the album was issued free together with copies of The Guardian newspaper on Saturday 23 June 2012 to coincide with Happy Mondays UK tour. The card envelope sleeve featured a reworking of the original artwork by Central Station Art Limited.
