The Album Also Includes A Previously Unreleased Studio Recording Of A Roger Waters Composition "Biding My Time" Which Had Otherwise Only Been Heard By Live Audiences As Part Of "The Man And The Journey" Concert Sequence. Songs Previously Released On Albums Are Identical To Their Album Versions. At The Time Of The Release Of Relics In May 1971 Its Budget Price Excluded It From The Album Chart However From August Until The End Of The Year The Chart Rules Were Changed To Allow Budget Albums To Be Included—this Allowed The Final Few Weeks Of Relics' Main Sales Period To Be Picked Up On It Reached #32 In The UK And #153 In The US. When Re-Released In The UK On 9 March 1996 The Album Reached #48.

In Addition To Variations On The Original Design The Album Was Released In Several Countries With Completely Different Artwork See Illustrations At Right . The Four-Eyed Face On The Original U.S. Album Cover Was Actually An Antique Bottle Opener. When The Album Was Released On CD Former Hipgnosis Partner Storm Thorgerson Had A Real-Life Version Of The Contraption On The Cover Made And Presented It To Mason. It Still Resides In Mason's Office. Both Thorgerson And His Assistant Peter Curzon Came Up With The Idea After Viewing The Head Sculpture Which Had Been Constructed By John Robertson And Which Appeared On The Album Sleeve Of The Division Bell.
