- 1 single copy of the art edition 'scream' sleeve with a green back, the artist's own personal copy variant (THIS)
- 10 copies of the art edition 'scream' sleeve with an orange back.
Haze XXL's (Tom Hazelmyer's) explanation on the art edition orange scream sleeve with orange back, which was limited to 10 hand-numbered copies sold only during the Bride Screamed Murder tour: "The special special art edition is block print hand made sleeves (like Melvins "Hurray 12" or recent Hammerhead). It is an edition of 10 only. The reason for the special art editions is when we received our 1000 LP's, there was forklift holes in 2 of the boxes."
The sleeve with the green back was not put on public display until in the Düsseldorf, Germany art show "EYE CHOKING AURAL STABS – THE ART RECORDS OF HAZE XXL" in 02.11.2013. Haze XXL told the art show arranger about this version: "There are 11 copies of this because the original covers were trashed. So I made this (green back sleeve) version to make collectors crazy."
The artist also confirmed that: "It was my personal copy I made for myself when I was making the tour copies."
