The album was released by Virgin Records in the UK and RCA Records in the US. Two singles were released from the album, "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)" and "Julia". The former was a top-10 entry in most territories, while "Julia" achieved little commercial success and broke the duo's run of six consecutive top-10 singles in the UK when it peaked at number 44. Promotional videos were produced for both singles. One US LP release had an additional sticker that stated "Censored by the thought police" (although the music was the same). The song "Doubleplusgood" which contains audio clips from the film version, are played at a higher pitch than in the film.
