In Australia it was released as a 7" picture disc (limited to 1,500) and a 12". Canadian- and German-made CDs came in a jewel case, the British a card sleeve.

Additional Information: At least two other songs were recorded at the 1992 Laundry Room session: 'Curmudgeon' (which features on some versions of the 'Lithium' single) and 'Return of the Rat' (which features on 'Eight/Fourteen Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers'). At Cobain's insistence this split single was released exclusively on 'Touch and Go Records', with DGC firstly suggesting they handle distribution and manufacture in the US and then asking to take care of worldwide sales (Gaar, Goldmine).
