Later releases of the album have the first letter of the word "Cowboy" on the front cover incorrectly printed in lower case. The original UK release from 1994 has it printed correctly. Additionally, the first release has a different inlay booklet- - featuring individual photos of Stuart, Wallis, Toby and Derrick. There are no "thank you's" from Derrick in this version. Later releases include a group photo and "thank you's" from Derrick.

Great packaging with a rougher paper sleeve and a gatefold with the identity of Jay Kay full-blown. Includes an extended version of Stillness In Time with the samba-esque ending which was released on the single afterwards. Weirdly, the album is strangely pressed all at 45 RPM.
