When the album was released in September 1999, it was only available in Australia. From 12 October 1999, it was made available as a mail order merchandise in Europe. Later, it was also sold in music stores. In USA, the album was not released until 2012; this edition was cut to only one disc. The album was accompanied in Australia by two collector edition singles: "Smoke on the Water" with disc cut into shape of the Australian continent, and "Black Night", which disc was manufactured in shape of the DP logo. The VHS/DVD was originally available only in Australia and as a mail order merchandise. It was released in the US on 16 May 2000.
