In Australia an extended version of the album was issued with a bonus 3-inch CD of live material from the band's Warped Tour. The Japanese release of Plastic Skies had three bonus tracks including, "TV", unreleased in Australia at the time; it was later a B-side on "Too Drunk to Drive". In August 2005 EMI released Plastic Skies as a double album compilation with How It Works (2000). Each was packaged in jewel cases with full original artwork—both discs were silver and held together in a card slipcase.
