February. The band's US label Kinetic Records was dissolved on 26 March; the band's manager was in talks in an attempt to release the album in that territory later in the year. On 3 May, "Orpheus" was released as a single; the CD version includes "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" (with Chris Martin of Coldplay) and "Tinsel Town". Meltdown was released through Infectious Records and Home Grown on 17 May 2004. The album's cover shows a tattoo-styled phoenix rising from flames. Its booklet features liner notes written by author JT LeRoy. A special-edition double CD version, the second disk containing live recordings from Ash's UK tour earlier in the year, was released in the UK. Two versions were released in Japan; one that added "Tinsel Town" and "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" to the main album and the other added extra live recordings to the UK special-edition live disc. Ash promoted the UK release with a series of in-store signings. "Starcrossed" was released as a single on 19 July 2004; the CD version includes "Cool It down" and "Solace". The song's music video is a homage to Romeo and Juliet and was filmed in an Orthodox Church in Bucharest, Romania. "Renegade Cavalcade" was released as a single on 6 December 2004; the CD version includes "We Don't Care" and the 7" vinyl version includes "Shockwave". The song was initially planned for released in November but was postponed because in Ash's absence, their record label made a video for it, which the band disliked. A second video showcasing a performance of the band was made. On 8 February 2005, Ash released an Extended Play (EP) called Commando, which includes "Meltdown", "Clones", "Evil Eye", and "Tinstle Town". Meltdown was released in the US on 8 March through the label Record Collection to coincide with the band's US tour. The US version includes the bonus tracks "Shockwave", "Solace", and "Cool It Down", as well as a DVD of music videos. The title-track "Meltdown" was released to American radio stations on 24 May. "Orpheus", "Clones", and "Starcrossed" were included on Ash's second compilation album The Best of Ash (2011). "Orpheus" and "Clones" were released on 7" vinyl as part of 94–'04 The 7" Singles Box Set (2019). "Orpheus", "Clones", and "Starcrossed" were also included on the band's third compilation album Teenage Wildlife: 25 Years of Ash (2020). Meltdown was reissued on CD through BMG in 2018. Touring In
