Notes

The cover, featuring a young Mark Webber, recreates the sleeve of David Bowie's 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. It was taken outside furriers, K. West, at 23 Heddon Street, London, W1.

The single version of Bad Cover Version is compressed to run at a faster tempo than the album, approximately 2.395% faster than the album version, meaning that it runs 5.7 seconds shorter (no mention is made of this on the sleeve). The radio edit (available on promo CDs) and video mix match this faster tempo.

Two versions of Nick Cave's bad cover version of Disco 2000 were recorded: a slow waltz version, which was selected for the B-side, and a 'pub rock' version, which was later included on Different Class Deluxe in 2006.

Members of the Pulp People Fan Club and the mailing list were given a free card case to keep all formats of the single in (CD1, CD2 and the DVD).
