Very rare 7-inch Japanese promo released alongside the digi-pak pressing.
The artwork was again designed by kato masako. The photograph (not credited) on the cover is taken from the Ayrshire hills looking out onto Ailsa Craig an island in the outer Firth of Clyde, Scotland.

10-track white label promo test pressing of ‘Cake’ with handwritten label. The reverse label is completely blank.
The record is housed in a simple black card sleeve. The inner ring of the A-side is stamped with the catalogue number 828201-1 and the inscribed legend ‘The Exchange Ray’s’. The flip side has the catalogue number as well as the inscriptions ‘When is adore not adore?’ and also ‘The Exchange D.M.M Staff’. Not sure what the latter is referring to.

West German 7-inch single on London Go! Discs. 3-tracks including ‘Who’s He’ and ‘The Best Man’s Fall’.
Again the paper sleeve seems to be of an inferior quality in comparison to the UK release. This seems to be a common occurrance with the import stuff I’ve obtained, not sure if it’s just Go! Discs – maybe this happens with other labels. This copy has a large centre hole to accommodate an automatic play mechanism on the changer, so a stack of singles would drop down one record at a time automatically after each play – a rare sight these days.

Deluxe Edition 2-disc CD/DVD set comprises a 14-track CD album with 2 exclusive acoustic bonus tracks—All The Dark Horses and Weightlifting—plus an NTSC DVD featuring the band’s performance on Morning Becomes Eclectic at California-based radio station KCRW on March 16, 2004. The set also includes a fold-out digipak picture sleeve with a picture/lyric insert.
If your copy—like this one—is signed by the band, you have a rare edition of this album, as only 500 of the CD booklets were signed.

This rare CD, limited to approximately 4,000 copies, includes the Trashcans performing an acoustic version of ‘The Safecracker’. An updated version appears on A Happy Pocket.
The Adventure Club was a Sunday night session hosted by Alex Luke on the Dallas-Fort Worth radio station The Edge 94.5. Some sessions were recorded live on air on the night the bands played in the studio, others were recorded at the Edge studios.
All proceeds from the sale of these CDs went to charity. The artists included XTC, Frank Black, Lemonheads, James, and Blur, amongst others.
