Notes

The Japanese issue comes with two bonus tracks -

1) "Self Inflicted" (previously released on "Not the Same" EP in Australia) 2) "Halfway Around the World" (previously released on "Fall To The Ground" EP in Australia)

The disc was re-issued in limited numbers in Australia as a 2CD set which included the "You Got Me A Girls Bike You Idiot!" EP. This double CD Issue was first released with picture discs identical to the original releases (of "How It Works" and "You Got Me A Girl's Bike You Idiot!"), then subsequently with silver discs.

EMI also released the 2CD version of "How It Works" with "Plastic Skies" as a double album promotion in August 2005. Both albums were in their own jewel cases with full original artwork, and both were silver discs. They were packaged together in a card slipcase.
