About
Head Like A Hole was released in maxi-single (US) and standard single (UK and Australia) formats. Despite the absence of the original album version on either release, the US Maxi version is longer than Pretty Hate Machine, thanks to inclusion of 5 tracks from the limited UK edition of the Down In It single (Halo 1): 2 versions of "Terrible Lie" and 3 of "Down In It", all of which had only been available on vinyl when this maxi-single was due for release; shortly thereafter, Halo 1 was released on CD by TVT as well.
In 1993, on the now defunct Prodigy message boards, Trent Reznor made the following comment about the circumstances of the maxi-single release:
Also in case anybody was wondering, the 'down in it' single was only going to be released on vinyl (because my old record label sucks) so i put most of it on the 'head like a hole' single (which obviously IS on CD) - then the greedy record label releases 'd.i.i.' on CD which is quite redundant. Sorry if you feel ripped off. [1]
The maxi-single's disc art reveals the tempo for "Head Like A Hole" (115 BPM) and "Terrible Lie" (88 BPM). On the US version, there's an unlisted bonus track featuring a clip of Heather "Princess" Day from Dance Party USA shouting "Let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails! Woooo! They're GOOD!" Also the first track on the UK single version is mislabeled: instead of Slate it should read Clay.
Artwork
The UK version's artwork was originally intended to be the sole artwork, but was replaced for the wider release by TVT Records due to the colour printing costing too much.[2]
The Designers Republic, who did the artwork for the Sin single, wanted to do a similar design for the Head Like A Hole single, but it wasn't used. A mockup of the art was posted to Facebook in 2016.[3]
