The single was a disco re-recorded version of the album track, which was more in a rock vein, and (just like the previous single "Dance Away") was also released as an extended 12" dance mix (still a relatively new format at that time). The single version of "Angel Eyes" later replaced the album version for subsequent releases. The album version was first re-released on Thrill of It All boxset. The 1999 re-mastered version of the Manifesto album finally restored the original version of the song. The single re-recording of the song omits the last verse.
Coincidentally, the song was in the UK top 20 at the same time as another song called "Angeleyes" by the Swedish group ABBA.
"Angel Eyes" was the first record that Roxy Music made a specific music video for.
