This variant is likely the earliest variant of the EP considering its different design which is inconsistent with other, newer Tally Hall media. The CD is blank white except for the band name and EP title printed on the lower third of the disc. This version came with a receipt-like paper insert with the tracklisting and production notes. It's generally believed that the font used for the insert was made by digitising [[Joe Hawley]]'s handwriting, as it's similar to his handwriting style, but too consistent to be hand-written.
