All download variants, except for the standard widely available 12-song edition, became unavailable for purchase on Aug. 30.

In terms of physical formats, the set was available as a CD during its debut week, only via Scott’s webstore. It was sold both as a stand-alone CD and as part of a deluxe boxed set containing a branded hat and a CD. Two vinyl variants (a standard edition, and one in expanded packaging), as well as two further boxed sets (one containing a hoodie and the standard vinyl, one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl) were available to pre-order during the tracking week, but have yet to ship to customers, so they do not impact its debut numbers.
