Release[edit]
The album's cover artwork and track listing were revealed by Dido's official website on 5 September 2008.[6] The album was originally due to be released on 3 November,[7][8] but was delayed for two weeks due to manufacturing delays.[3] In the UK, the album launch was heralded with a special listening party, which fans could win an invitation to through the Nectar loyalty card points scheme.[9]
The album cover features a photograph of astronaut Bruce McCandless II during a spacewalk, as part of the 1984 Space Shuttle mission STS-41-B. McCandless later sued Dido, Sony Music Entertainment and Getty Images over violating his publicity rights.[10] The case was settled under undisclosed terms on 14 January 2011.[11]
On 27 October 2008, it was announced that eleven short films were being produced to accompany the tracks on the album, based around the theme of home.
