It is a collection of the band's first three EPs, Kaleidoscope (1990), Every Heaven (1991) and Boo! Up (1991), as well as two previously unreleased covers, "Alone Again Or" and "Boo! Faith". The band's 1992 EP Adrenalin is not represented, as it was released on a separate record label.

The covers of "Alone Again Or" (originally by Love) and "Boo! Faith" (New Order's "True Faith", retitled) are taken from the band's second and third Peel Sessions, from 1991.

gollark: Not that this is much of an indictment of Linux, it just seems that nobody is actually able to build working software.
gollark: Ironic, considering that Linux seems to constantly have bugs, including worrying privilege escalation bugs.
