On 27 April 2009, a newly remastered special edition of ''Southpaw Grammar'' was released. Four extra tracks were added in the form of b-side "[[Nobody Loves Us]]", the ''Southpaw Grammar'' outtakes "[[Honey, You Know Where To Find Me]]" and "[[You Should Have Been Nice To Me]]", as well as, controversially, the ''[[Your Arsenal]]'' outtake "[[Fantastic Bird]]". The running order was rearranged to accommodate these changes. The album artwork was also completely redesigned, with a [[Linder Sterling]] photo from 1992.
