The Greek pressing of the album (on Virgin Records) was issued as a single LP.

Following the introduction of the microphone and electrical recording in 1925, Elgar re-recorded the work, taking advantage of the greatly increased realism of the new process. New recordings of the Variations were later made following the introduction of the long playing record in the early 1950s, and after the introduction of stereophonic recording towards the end of the decade. Details of the recordings, below, are taken from "The Gramophone" Context_4 : Pageant of Empire is the title given to a set of songs, to words by Alfred Noyes, written by the English composer Sir Edward Elgar and given important positions in the Pageant of Empire at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Park.

Part of this song contains music based on "Nimrod" from "Enigma Variations", composed by Edward Elgar. The song follows "Aftermath", which centers on the album's protagonist discovering love. Matt Bellamy has said that the album's negative stories, "The Globalist" and "Drones", serve as epilogue. At ten minutes and seven seconds, it is the second longest song in Muse's discography, after "". Context_8 : Julius Buths (7 May 185112 March 1920) was a German pianist, conductor and minor composer.
