a single, but Lawrence requested to re-recording the song's chorus, to which London Records cut funding for further studio time. "Middle of the Road" was released as a single, with the B-sides "Ape Hangers", "Robin's Nest", and an instrumental version of "Ape Hangers" titled "The Great Grape Ape-Hangers", in January 1993. The album was received well by critics but was commercially poor. In retrospect, Lawrence commented "The tills were closed. [...] This was my masterpiece and I would fight to death to get it right. If that meant it was going to end up selling 25 copies, then that was the way it had to be." The album was reissued in May 2006 on West Midland's Records, a subsidiary of Cherry Red. Norwegian band Turbonegro covered "Back in Denim" as a bonus track at 2007 album Retox. In 2017, Pitchfork ranked Back in Denim at number 50 in their list of "The 50 Best Britpop Albums".
