There is definitely a 2 CD version, I'm fairly sure it's Limited though.
Still fairly easy to find though, even in places like HMV.

Excellent album as well, BTW. 

If it was purchased in Oxford Street, they of all HMV's MUST have had
the double album.

Obviously, with any album released as a double and then a single album
you will be missing out, especially as the vast majority of the tracks
on disc 2 are new ones and not remixes of disc 1 tracks :)
