The album was released worldwide under a new name, Twilight Time, and different artwork, although it remained musically unchanged.

[4] Bluelight Records made two reissues of the album in Finland, retaining the name Stratovarius II.

The initial Finnish pressings of the album were small, and it has never been repressed or released internationally with the original name or cover.
