As they prepared for the album, they released a special release for the Catatonia fanclub which had formed after “Bleed”. Containing “Blow the Millenium, Blow” and “Beautiful Sailor”, the vinyl record was sent to all members. The following month, on 18 January 1996, “Sweet Catatonia” was released. It became the first Catatonia single to reach the UK singles chart , peaking at 61st position. MRM sought to expand the profile of the band in Europe, publishing the compilation The Sublime Magic of Catatonia . The band toured the UK, supported by Liverpool -based band Space , and while touring ” Lost Cat ” was released on 22 April. It just missed out on the top 40, reaching 41st position. As part of the tour, they appeared at several music festivals that year including Reading , Phoenix and at Madstock! 3 in London.
