Album release

[edit]

The original objective of Sphinctour was as a home video release, though a CD version was also made. There are no discernible differences audio-wise from the DVD, although, like their In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up release, two tracks were omitted from the CD release. In addition, the DVD features the song "Happy Dust" as the intro and outro. The live video is edited as jump cut, which is a combination of all the concerts that took place in America and Europe.
