The album was re-released on August 12, 1997, as simply Chronic with an alternate track listing, also featuring one extra track titled "Buster Brown". The re-released version was released by Tommy Boy Records. Currently, both versions of the album are out of print, and can only be found on sites such as Amazon and eBay.

A party video with strange lighting was made for the track "Insomniac", featuring a club with the band playing, as well as a first-person exploration of the club. To date, it is one of only two Chronic Future music videos, the other being the video for "Time and Time Again" from the album Lines in My Face.
