''Head Like A Hole'' was released in maxi-single (US) and standard single (UK and Australia) formats. Despite the absense absence of the original album version on either release, the US Maxi version is longer than ''Pretty Hate Machine'', thanks to inclusion of two remixes 5 tracks from the limited UK edition of the ''Down In It'' single (Halo 1): 2 versions of "[[Terrible Lie]]" as well as two remixes and the demo 3 of "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" (, all of which previously appeared had only been available on vinyl when this maxi-single was due for release; shortly thereafter, Halo 1 was released on ''CD by TVT as well. In 1993, on the now defunct Prodigy message boards[[Down In It (halo)|Down In Ithttp://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/display/327]]'' single). The , Trent Reznor made the following comments about the circumstances of the maxi-Single's disc art reveals single release: <blockquote>Also in case anybody was wondering, the BPM for ''Head Like A Hole'down in it' single was only going to be 115 BPM and released on vinyl (because my old record label sucks) so i put most of it on the BPM for 'head like ahole'Terrible Liesingle (which obviously IS on CD) - then the greedy record label releases '' to be 88 BPMd.i.i. On the US version, there's an unlisted 11th track featuring a clip of Kelly Ripa shouting "Let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails! Woooo! They're GOOD!" Also the first track on CD which is quite redundant. Sorry if you feel ripped off.</blockquote> <blockquote>The colored HLAH single (the UK single version import) is mislabeled: instead of ''Slate'' the way i intended it should read ''Clay'' (that mix was used for to be released, but TVT released the black & white one with all the "[[Head Like A Hole extra (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" videoi think boring)mixes & ugly cover.</blockquote>
