and Heather Iannelli. The layout work was handled by Ronald Jasin, an associate of Conquer the World Records. Conquer the World Records released The Cleanest War on compact disc on May 15, 1996. The 12" vinyl version was delayed by several months, and was first released on a clear medium blue color with black swirl, limited to 300 copies. It was subsequently repressed twice by Conquer the World Records. The second pressing was released in August 1998 and came on clear color with black swirl (limited to 500 copies) and clear color with black and green swirl (limited to 75 copies). The third pressing was released in December 1998 and came on solid black color, limited to 300 copies. In October 2005, Conquer the World Records reissued The Cleanest War digitally through digital retailers Echospin and iTunes. In a 1997 interview, Wylie initially criticized Conquer the World Records for only selling a few thousand copies of the release, but in subsequent interviews, he criticized the record label for repressing the release without the band's permission. Reissues All five songs from The Cleanest War were later combined with Morning Again's eponymous 7" vinyl (recorded in March 1996), for Belgian record label Good Life Recordings' compact disc and 12" vinyl compilation Hand of Hope, released in January 1997. The same songs were again reissued on the compact disc compilation Hand of the Martyr, which was co-released by Wylie's own record label, Eulogy Recordings, and German record label Alveran Records, on May 28, 2002, to coincide with a Morning Again reunion show. The songs were once again repackaged on the 12" vinyl compilation I, released by German record label Demons Run Amok Entertainment on September 25, 2015. In 2022, Belgian record label Stick to the Core Records repressed The Cleanest War for its 26th anniversary.
