Heavyweight transparent blue vinyl held in transparent red plastic sleeve with text on either side of the sleeve. Newer copies shipped from the Vinyl Factory with an additional black inner sleeve.

This version is un-numbered. This version was mainly sold through The Vinyl Factory website, stating this is limited to 1000 copies, some copies were also available in shops on the day of release, again, for £20.00.

The A side is a new and original recording with spoken word lyrics. The B side features the same lyrics, however spoken over the instrumentation of "Take It There" from Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit.
