Limited edition

Initial mail-order copies of the album came with a bonus live album WIRE - Metro, Chicago, 14th September 2002. It was reported that this inclusion came about due to concern being raised at the fact that the majority of Send had already been available on the group's two Read & Burn EPs.[13] The live album later became part of the Wire Legal Bootleg series in 2010 as Legal Bootleg Series: 14 Sept 2002 Metro, Chicago.[14]

The album was reissued with a bonus CD and expanded liner notes by Wilson Neate in 2010 as Send Ultimate. It contains material recorded by Wire in the studio between 2000 and 2003.
