The 7" version of "Today" is a slight edit of the album version. However, this is not mentioned anywhere on the release. It was included on the 1997 compilation 'The Very Best of Talk Talk', entitled "Today (Single Version)".

The 12" B-side song, "It's So Serious", is from a BBC radio session, recorded for the David Jensen Show in November 1981, and was produced by John Sparrow. Similar to the 7" single, there is no mention of the fact that "Today" is an extended version or that "It's So Serious" is from a BBC radio session.

In the Netherlands, "It's So Serious" was released as the A-side, with "Today" as the B-side.
