Initial copies include a one-sided "Not For Resale" free Special Complimentary Single, a Disco version of the title theme. Originally issued with a large hype sticker on the shrink-wrap mentioning this "special bonus record".

There also exists a very similar edition "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" without the 7" and with different text layout on the labels.
