The original Pet Shop Boys demo (with Tennant on vocals) can be found on the 2001 2-disc re-release of their album Very . "Unfinished Sympathy " is a cover of the Massive Attack song.

The duet version is included on the US version of the album, which has a different track listing, released some six months after it was first issued in Europe and most other parts of the world, and features an alternate cover.
