Unlike Jones' previous singles, the twelve-inch single did not feature an extended mix of the main track, though an extended mix later appeared on The 12″ Album. Instead, the track "Total Conditioning" was an extended version of the song "Conditioning" also taken from Human's Lib, featuring additional lyrics lifted from most of the other songs on that album.
