-London eschewed the usual CD single, [[Maxi single|maxi CD]] and [[DVD]] configuration for the single, instead releasing "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" as three separate 7" singles. Each 7" contained a different mix of the single as an A-side. On the B-side, each 7" contained a brand new [[remix]] of a classic New Order single.
-Many saw this as a bridging of the ''Waiting for the Sirens' Call'' album and the then-forthcoming ''[[Singles (New Order album)|Singles]]'' compilation.
-A CD single for "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" followed the three 7" singles, and was released on October 3, 2005. The two track CD featured full-length mixes of the title track.
-In a recent report, New Order frontman [[Bernard Sumner]] has stated that "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" is his favourite New Order song of all time.{{Citation needed|date=May 2007}}
-The song was added to [[BBC Radio 2]]'s A-List and was also playlisted by [[Xfm London]]. It debuted at #21 on the [[UK Singles Chart]], one position lower than the previous single, "[[Jetstream (song)|Jetstream]]".
