Singles

Two singles were released for the double a-side. The cover for the first single features Michael squatting on a black chaise longue in a room with brown-tiled walls. The cover for the second single released for the single is just a close-up of the first cover, and does not show the chaise longue. The single version is referred as "The Strangest Thing '97" instead of simply "The Strangest Thing" of the album version because the single version is a remixed/re-recorded track.
