On 20 June 1989, by which time McCartney had returned to Capitol Records, "Back to the Egg" was released on CD in America. In August 1993, Parlophone reissued the album as part of "The Paul McCartney Collection" with three bonus tracks: "Daytime Nighttime Suffering", McCartney's 1979 Christmas single "Wonderful Christmastime", and the latter's B-side, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reggae". Samples of "Reception" and "The Broadcast" appeared on the Fireman's "Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest" (1993) album, a collaboration between McCartney and Youth. In 2007, "Back to the Egg" was released on iTunes, with a remix of "Goodnight Tonight" as a bonus track.
