Initial quantities of CAD 703 included a three-way folding inner sleeve, while later copies had a regular inner sleeve with an insert. Sleeve by 23 Envelope, Nigel Grierson, Danger Video and Arthur Parker. VAD703 is a video. All the songs are the same as the other formats, except that the version of «Fish» is different. CAD703D is a limited edition of 10000 with some extra artwork. CAD703X is a deluxe limited edition wooden box (100 of them exists) containing all the different editions of Lonely Is An Eyesore and some additional prints. About the box: 30 were released for sale (200 pounds each directly from 4AD), 70 were given away to the bands, distibutors of 4AD material and others. The prints were rather expensive, bringing the cost of production of the box up to 500 pounds. There are two prints, one 15x20 cm (etching) by Jinny m'Garrity, where small details differ from box to box. The other is larger, 100x200cm (by Terry Dowling), printed on rice paper. The prints were wrapped in a sealed plastic-like paper. During the end titles on the video, an instrumental version of «Oomingmak» is played. This can also be found on the 10 Disc CD Collection. «Hot Doggie» samples from the films «Lifeforce» («Here I go», «be with me» & «Close your eyes, I love you»), «Evil Dead» («You will die, lover boy» & «one by one» + the chainsaw), «The Last Starfighter» («Soon the frontier will be down etc») and «2000 Maniacs» («Let's hear some music» & «We've got us some goods»).
