Spiral Circus was first released in 1994 on cassette only. This tape was given away free to subscribers of the Transmission information service. It was then reissued on vinyl in 1997 limited to 500 copies. Both editions are deleted at the present.[1]
Despite the fact that the track is not included, the album name is a reference to a section in the song "The Sky Moves Sideways Phase 1" from The Sky Moves Sideways.
