There was also a promo version in white cardboard casing, and the disc has a picture of a brain. It says "promo 121" as well as the regular production number.


Trivia
The song "Transfixion" is titled "Catatonic Transfixion" in the track listing on the digipack version, and on the Relapse UHV/VHF compilation. (But not in the digipack's lyrics, nor on any other release as far as we know.)
The lyrics for "Future Breed Machine" was originally more extensive, but had to be cut majorly to fit the music. The complete lyrics have been lost, unfortunately.
Here's the cover of a promo version. The sleeve for Selfcaged had a small "coming soon" ad with this cover as a small picture.
