Industry promotional releases

US radio singles

3 singles were produced for the United States radio scene. One containing the [Band Version (No Strings)] mix with a distinctively different cover, and the other containing the [Band Version (Guitars Down)] mix with the standard artwork. Both also contain the album version of the track. The last one has no special artwork on the CD itself although comes with 3 tracks (no other WUJC release has ever come with 3 tracks) rather than 2 tracks like the other "My Immortal" promos or 1 track only like all the other WUJC singles.

No strings version

Status: Out of Print
Label: Wind-up
Cat.no: WUJC20081-2

Black screened CD with orange and white artwork came in a standard jewel case containing an insert with only the My Immortal Logo on the front and full artwork on the back. Only a few hundred of these discs exist.

  1. "My Immortal" [Band version (No strings)]
  2. "My Immortal" [Album version]

Guitars down version

Status: Out of Print
Label: Wind-up
Cat.no: WUJC20082-2

Disc came in a standard jewel case containing inserts with the standard commercial single artwork. Only a few hundred of these discs exist. Note the use of the 'e' logo in the tray.

3 track test pressing version

Status: Out of Print
Label: Wind-up
Cat.no: WUJC20090-2

CDR with black print came in a standard jewel case containing an insert with only the My Immortal Logo on the front and full artwork on the back. Sightings are extremely rare because only a few were printed as a "test printing" at Wind-up, and it was later decided that two versions of the "My Immortal" WUJC would be printed instead. Probably less than 10 copies exist.
