One of the songs on the album, "Time for Me to Fly", was featured in the film Aquamarine in 2006.[3]
After Columbia Records dropped the group from their roster list, they signed with Hollywood. Hollywood received the rights to distribute the single "Year 3000" which was also released on the group's first Hollywood Records album. The album also managed to sell 67,000 copies in the US.[4] This was the entire initial shipment of the record. There was never a second shipment, since the band had been dropped by Columbia Records.
In August 2012, the Jonas Brothers announced the vinyl re-release of the album exclusively in the 2012 gift for premium members of Team Jonas along with a digital download with each vinyl album. The songs "What I Go to School For" and "Year 3000" are covers originally by English pop rock band Busted.
"Mandy" was released on December 27, 2005 as the first single from the album. "Year 3000" was released on March 16, 2006 as the second single from the album.
On November 5, 2005, Jonas Brothers began their first promo tour in support of the album. Their second tour, Jonas Brothers American Club Tour, promoted abstinence from illegal drugs.[5] The tour consisted of gigs in clubs, and with small crowds. The tour started on January 28, 2006 and ended on March 3, 2006 with a total of 28 shows.
In August 2012, the album was made available on vinyl as an exclusive gift for renewing or new premium members of Team Jonas. The vinyl release also includes a digital download of the album and a thank you note from Kevin, Joe and Nick. Select copies were autographed by the brothers and mailed out randomly along with one of three Jonas Brothers turntables by Crossley Turntables.[6][7] Like the CD release, copies of the vinyl re-release are also rare to find as well as expensive if sold on eBay.
