The album contains some of the band's best known songs such as "If I Had You", "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime", "All The Love In The World", material from album This World's For Everyone, four new recordings as well as rarities previously unreleased on CD.

Kollection was originally only available for members of the Korgis fan club and issued in 2004, but was commercially released the following year along with a DVD by the same name, Kollection.

The album was followed by single "Something About The Beatles", recorded and produced in April 2006 by James Warren and Glenn Tommey.

In 2009 the 2006 version of the Kollection album, including the track "Something About The Beatles", and the Kollection DVD were re-released as a CD/DVD combo under the title Something About The Korgis.

gollark: I think bots is to be below meta, yes.
gollark: Yes, I'm glad you've been able to find people who agree with you on things most.
gollark: For purposes, naturally. I could say approximately the same thing to you. Although with "palaiologos" instead of "gollark".
gollark: What do you mean excluding people from offtopic? I have no power over it. I can't stop people accessing it.
gollark: Why would I send screenshots? That would require effort. And scrolling/zoom controls, if it's particularly busy. My screenshot workflow is suboptimal.
