The lead track on the release, "Good Morning Universe", was not included on an album at the time, nor were the other three tracks on the EP. The first 100,000 pressings of the single also came with a free flexidisc, containing a fifth exclusive track, "Stand Proud". This collectability helped the single reach Number 14 in the UK Singles Charts.

Two tracks from the single, "Good Morning Universe" and "In the Fairground" were eventually included on the 1999 reissue of The Changeling, and "The Furious Futures" and "Stand Proud" was included on the 1998 compilation Proud, Loud & Heard: The Best Of Toyah. Another 1998 compilation, Toyah! Live & More, featured "Urban Tribesmen". Finally, all tracks from the release, bar "Stand Proud" feature on the 2005 compilation The Safari Singles Collection Part 2: 1981-1983.

gollark: The speakers also work fine, as does WiFi, the keyboard, trackpad, etc.
gollark: Anecdotally, my device (2020 Legion 5 with the i5-10300H and RTX 2060) works fine under Linux. People spoke of backlight issues, but it works fine for me. I'm using the hybrid GPU mode with PRIME (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#PRIME_render_offload).
gollark: Thanks. I'm not on Windows but might use this if I ever end up installing it instead for whatever reason.
gollark: I have an i5-10300H/RTX 2060 Legion 5, is undervolting possible? I've heard it said that you need some advanced BIOS options which this model lacks for some reason.
gollark: No.
