Early promotional copies of this album included a remixed bonus track "Lost At Sea" at the end of the album. The band later decided to drop the bonus track from the official release. It later appeared on an Urban Outfitters compilation CD and on a radio promotional EP alongside "Telescope Eyes", "I Wasn't Prepared", and "Golly Sandra".[citation needed]
