The album was released on February 21, 2006 on the Cooking Vinyl label, the same day their previous label Virgin Records issued Get On With It: The Best of Cracker, which featured the original versions of many of the same songs, but was released without the band's permission or cooperation.[2] In a similar fashion, the Redux versions of the songs undercut the price of the originals on iTunes, resulting in greater sales for the Redux versions.[3][failed verification] Nine of the 13 songs that appear here are also on the Virgin compilation.
Since these songs were re-recorded, there are some subtle differences scattered throughout such as changed lyrics or different instrument fills. The one new song, "Something You Ain't Got", would appear a few months later in the year on their Greenland release.[4]
