A similar Letter-sized press sheet was released in the US, with the EP's lyrics included along with the message.
==Re-releases==
<blockquote>Trent Reznor and NIN art director [[John Crawford]] set out to make the “definitive editions” of all the main NIN releases on vinyl. Reznor: "We want to present the catalog as it was intended to be, with no compromises. That means a careful remastering of the audio from the original sources, a careful and painstaking recreation of the artwork, pristine materials, some surprises and an insane attention to detail that you probably won’t notice… but it matters to us. No extra bullshit and gimmicks – the “real” records in their truest form available at a reasonable price."</blockquote>
The B side of the vinyl is an etching with a cryptic message circling around the surface in a spiral fashion, reducing in size as it goes. It begins with lines from "Last" ("this isn't meant to last this is for right now") before descending into a rant, with some lines deliberately scratched out. This edition of the vinyl comes with a digital download card and a booklet containing photos and an essay about the album, written by Jason Pettigrew. It also retains the original vinyl's format of having the two bonus tracks on a separate 7" record.
