The album was reissued on April 7, 2015 exclusively through [Newbury Comics](/source/Newbury_Comics). A limit of 500 vinyl copies were to be pressed but a communication error with the manufacturer led to an extra 250 copies of the reissue, amounting to a limited supply of 750 vinyl copies. Stickers attached to the album citing the 500-copy release were covered by new stickers citing the run of 750.<ref>[https://www.discogs.com/Volcano-Choir-Unmap/release/6890357 Discogs - Volcano Choir: Unmap Reissue]</ref>
