Release edit

It was the first official release in Anathema's discography. "They Die" was not included on the vinyl version.[3]

In 1994, The Futurist Label included all of the tracks as part of the band's first album Serenades. The following year, Peaceville released the EP as a double CD with Serenades.[4] In 2001, it was re-issued together with Pentecost III on one disc.

Orchestral versions of "Crestfallen", "They Die" and "Everwake" were recorded for the 2011 compilation Falling Deeper.
