In February 2011, it was announced the song would be re-issued on limited edition 7" vinyl and CD formats with two previously unreleased B-sides: "Safe, Warm Lancashire Home" and "Treat Me Like a Human Being".[2] This re-issue charted at number 69 on the UK Singles Chart, thus replacing "Hold On to Your Friends" as Morrissey's lowest charting single.[3]
