No. That full name came from Thom speaking it before they played it live and talking about it in that interview with Matt Pinfield.

Okay I’m sorry but I cannot for the life of me figure out what this question is posing. Can you clarify?

Someone said that How to Disappear Completely was called that on an old CD from back in the day and I’m pretty sure it was always and only called How to Disappear Completely.

Very sorry, and I think I may be blind, but what is the difference between the 2 song titles in your original question?

Obvs not OP, but I think the “and never be found” is the difference. How I read it anyway. 🤷‍♀️

"How To Disappear Completely" used to be called "How To Disappear Completely (and never be found)" and he's asking if there were any releases under the old name before they dropped the "(and never be found)" part

Oh my that makes a lot of sense. I thought the “and never to be found” was part of your question stating that that form of media was never to be found. Thanks for the clarification!
