It includes early and live versions of songs from the band's first two albums, a few rare b-sides, and one brand new track, "Novocaine Hurricane". "Video Killed the Radio Star" is a cover of the song by the Buggles, which is a song the band has performed live at almost every concert they've done. They had previously released a live version of it as a b-side, and they later recorded another studio version for the soundtrack to The Wedding Singer (that version was also included on the compilation album, Pure Frosting). "Ça plane pour moi" is a cover of a French song by Plastic Bertrand.
All songs written by Chris Ballew unless otherwise noted.
