It is billed as the "Executive Version" as a joke on popular "special editions" of albums that contained extra tracks unavailable on earlier versions. Naturally, no other version of this album existed in the original release.

The sketch "A Foul-Tempered Rabbit", edited on the LP and 8-track, was included in its entirety on the cassette and CD.

Early versions of the CD contain only two tracks, corresponding to the two sides of the vinyl edition. Subsequent CD reissues have the sketches indexed into separate tracks.
