It quickly sold through its limited pressing and has continued to be a popular digital seller since the release. Restricted Release later pressed it on a special ten-inch available exclusively through the label's Amazon store. The vinyl pressing features exclusive artwork and is hand-numbered; limited to 1,000 copies.
