On 6 November 1995, to cash in on the band's renewed success at that time, Virgin repackaged the album with a new cover and added newer tracks: "Tell Me When" (from the Octopus album) and a new remix of "Don't You Want Me" by German group Snap!. Additionally, a brand-new track, "Stay with Me Tonight", was included which the band had recorded under their new recording contract with EastWest Records. This would later be released as a single.
