The album was reissued on cassette by Golden Music in 1992, and on CD and cassette by Sony Wonder in 2004. However, the Sony Wonder edition dropped the song, "A Little Bit Bigger" and the second version of "Happy Birthday To You" which was played just before "Blow Out the Candles", though the latter is still included within the liner notes.
