    Also on limited edition (1,000 copies) LP (TAKE021). Some early pressings had Open The Boxoctosis #2 after The Past #2. Originally planned for release in April 2003 under the title Country On The Click, the album was remixed/partially re-recorded and retitled after the original mix leaked on the internet. The CD spines and inside cover still show the original title & the CD label uses the word "album" rather than "LP". The promo carried the warning: "For promotional use only - anyone abusing this will have Mark E Smith to contend with and may God have mercy on your soul!!!".

    Released in the US with different cover & tracklisting on Narnack Records (NCK7018) on CD - 15 June 2004 release - and blue vinyl LP - 13 July 2004 release. Tracklisting: Green Eyed / Mountain / Sparta 2# / Contraflow / Xralothep / Janet Vs Johnny / Boxoctosis / The Past / Mad Mock Goth / Protein Protection / Mike's Love Hexagon / 41 Loop/Houston / Portugal / Recovery Kit 2# [titles as per sleeve]. Sparta 2#, Mad Mock Goth, Portugal and Recovery Kit 2# are the single versions (Mad Mock Goth edited by about 30 seconds). The Past is the same as The Past #2 on the UK version, and Janet Vs Johnny is actually Janet, Johnny + James rather than the track on the Fall vs 2003 single.

    Fall Heads Roll
    Slogan/Sanctuary SLOCD003, 3 October 2005 (CD) [top of page]
    Ride Away / Pacifying Joint / What About Us? / Midnight In Aspen / Assume / Aspen Reprise / Blindness / I Can Hear The Grass Grow / Bo Demmick / Youwanner / Clasp Hands / Early Days of Channel Fuhrer / Breaking The Rules / Trust In Me
    Also on limited edition (1,000 copies) LP (SLOLP003). The vinyl tracklisting places Bo Demmick after Aspen Reprise at the end of the A-side, with Blindness as the first track on the B-side. There are 2 different promos - one with just a printed tracklisting slip, the other in a cardboard sleeve with the cover artwork.

    Released in the US with a slightly different cover on 4 October 2005 on Narnack (NCK7033) on: CD; limited edition (5,000 copies) solid black CDR; limited edition (1,250 copies) double LP; and limited edition (750 copies) marble swirled double LP. The LPs feature an alternate version of Blindness. The US CD cover lists the tracks in the wrong order; a separate insert sheet with the correct tracklisting was included with most copies.
