After its initial release 'Joe Hawley Joe Hawley' could be obtained for free digitally through bandcamp, albeit without the tracks 'We Are In Space' or 'White Rabbit'.[6] however the link to the Bandcamp page went down shortly afterwards.
On May 7th, 2017 a music video was uploaded to Joe Hawley's YouTube page for 'Crazy F***'[7] and On June 22nd, 2017, an official lyric video for Rotary Park was also uploaded to YouTube.[8]
Between October 31st, 2017 and December 5th, 2018, numerous demos, audio samples, and instrumental versions of the songs from 'Joe Hawley Joe Hawley' were uploaded to YouTube[9]

'White Rabbit' has also been removed from the 2020 version.[12]
More than a year later on March 13th 2022, Joe Hawley Joe Hawley was removed from certain streaming platforms. As of now this has not been fixed and it is unknown why it was removed altogether.

On April 16th 2019, Joe Hawley released γɘlwɒH ɘoႱ γɘlwɒH ɘoႱ on Bandcamp,[14] and Spotify.[15] The album is the same as Joe Hawley Joe Hawley except the tracks are reversed, in reverse order, and have reversed titles. This was done to get around copyright issues as many of the tracks use samples. The only exception to this is Aristotle's Denial, which does not play in reverse.[16] This is most likely due to the song featuring no (uncleared) copyright samples.
