Single releases

The first single from the album was the dance track "I Can See Clearly", which reached No. 23 in the UK.[5] The second single, ballad "Strike Me Pink", had a controversial promotional video that was banned^{[citation needed]} for being too disturbing – it featured a man in a glass tank filled with water, as Harry sits and watches him drown.

Debravation Producer's Cut

In 1994, Harry released independently a different version of the album, entitled Debravation (8½) Producer's (Director's) Cut.[6] According to her official website, this was the original version of the album, which was presented to Sire and rejected. When they opted for a different track listing and different mixes, Harry had a limited number of copies of Debravation (8½) Producer's (Director's) Cut pressed and sold them at her concerts and through her website. It contained two identical tracks to the official release, but also included alternate versions, as well as tracks that were used as B-sides, and some previously unreleased material.

The musicians for the Producer's Cut were Chris Stein (guitar and programming), Pete Min (guitar), Leigh Foxx (bass) and Geoff Dugmore (drums). On the live version of "Black Dog", the musicians were Steve Barnacle (bass); Carrie Boothe (keyboards); Geoff Dugmore (drums); Karl Hyde (guitar); and Melissa Poole-Stein (backing vocals). This version was engineered and mixed by Adam Yellin and produced by Chris Stein.
