"Water Under the Bridge", the first single released from this album, saw the beginning of "the way of dodgy", a step-by-step enlightened 'dodgy' philosophy that would appear on the record sleeves for each of their future recordings. The artwork also included their 'mdv' logo. The single was released in early 1993, and the video for the song featured the band in Amsterdam.

The second single was "Lovebirds", a song that had won them award on Gary Crowley's GLR show during the band's youth. Included on the single was the acoustic live favourite "Big Brown Moon".

Continuing their new shiny artwork on singles, Dodgy released "I Need Another", the cover of which depicted the band as garden gnomes and included a campfire version of "Never Again", complete with the sound of crackling logs.

gollark: You would give money to the script's address, and it would verifiably split it between two people.
gollark: I have to admit that this *would* be an interesting way to do multi-person-owned shops.
gollark: People have shops and those have brand names and such, but those aren't companies; mostly profit just goes right to the owner and investment is done by loans negotiated between individuals.
gollark: In my opinion, the main reason for that is that companies don't exactly exist here.
gollark: No stock exchange ever actually *happened*, and a centralized one would be easier to do than this.
