2004 Re-release
The album was reissued on 29 November 2004, and featured a second disc of unreleased material, including songs recorded under the band name "Easy Cure" with Porl Thompson. It was originally supposed to be released in early 2004 along with the band's next three studio albums (Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography), but was delayed multiple times before being released by itself at the end of 2004. Since it features a variety of old songs, it is the only Deluxe Edition by the band which does not feature an alternate version of all the songs on the first disc. Some of the early booklets in the reissue had the lyrics missing, and were made available on The Cure's website in PDF form. All copies since have the lyrics.
The first single, "Killing an Arab", was excluded from the re-issue, most likely due to its controversial nature (see the article).
There also exists a one-disc reissue, released on 5 September 2005, containing the original album only. It is also released in the standard jewel case, and not a box. In some countries, the Deluxe Edition has become a collector's item as production was phased out, being replaced by the more economic single-disc version.
