The album was released in two formats:

A double-CD album, with the album tracks on the first CD, titled Disc 1: The Om Years, and a second bonus CD, titled Disc 2: B-Sides and Rarities.
A double-LP album, with a selection of the first CD's tracks, and two songs ("The Bomb Combo" and "Out Da Club") from the b-sides & rarities CD.

Om Records released this compilation album in an attempt to capitalize on the buzz about the group's upcoming album, Fun DMC, and the group's past success with the label.[2] The group would return to the Om label on 2009's Carried Away.
