The EP was re-released with extra tracks and different sequencing via James' Bleep Store on 20 July 2017.[13] The cover is by The Designers Republic, and bears notable similarity to that of Warp's first release, Forgemasters' "Track With No Name" from 1989.[14]

The four bonus tracks included on the 2017 re-release were also issued separately in 2019 as Manchester 20.09.2019, a limited edition 12" and digital EP release.[15][16]
