Other releases of Cloudcukooland: Some years after it came out, and after Ghetto had sunk, Cloudcuckooland was re-released as a budget mid-price album on the Virgin label.

The USA had a different release of Cloudcuckooland, which is better that the UK version. It was released on a major label, MCA Records, whereas it released on indie label Ghetto elsewhere. It featured the track Fools, which over here was the b-side of Pure. On the CD version, there was a bonus track, which was Frenzy, the last b-side of Joy. The US version was also later re-released. Only this time, the new re-recorded version of All I Want was added.
