While the album was officially released in Japan utilizing the standard bunny artwork, there were also numerous (Possibly one of a kind) handmade versions sold while the band toured throughout [[1999]] and [[2000]]. These handmade CDs are typically parodies of popular artwork or other album covers, often with cut-and-paste images of the members of the hip-hop group ''Handsome Boy Modeling School'' put on top of faces.

These handmade CDs are typically parodies of popular artwork or other album covers, often with cut-and-paste images of the members of the hip-hop group ''Handsome Boy Modeling School'' put on top of faces. The artwork for most, if not all of these cover variants were done by [[Karl Koch]], working with inspiration from [[Mikey Welsh]], who loved the idea and was an avid cut-and-paste artwork maker in his spare time on the road. Karl found a huge stack of Handsome Boy Modeling School promotional stickers and some discarded promotional CD's at one of the clubs on the Special Goodness 1999 tour, and it was decided that these elements would be the basis for all CD's sold on the rest of the tour. The very first versions were sold, and then color photocopies were made of some of the favored designs to keep up with the demand as the tour went on. Karl saved a few examples of each, but several were totally one of a kind and their survival rate is unknown. Some of these alternate releases have been cataloged online, however as a result of the band's lack of popularity along with the fact that these copies were not ever released officially, they are generally sparsely known of and far more rare to come across. | ||
