The Phunk Shui CD was released four more times, with bonus tracks added each time. On October 29, 2002, a Japanese version added the bonus track "Mona Lisa's Eyes" (this version was released in the United States on May 20, 2003, as All Good People). Two more bonus tracks were added on November 18, 2003, (title changing back to Phunk Shui) for a new USA version ("Time Will Tell" and a live recording of "People Get Ready"). In 2006, a DualDisc version of Phunk Shui was released under the title John Oates Solo – The Album, The Concert. The CD side is the 14-track version of Phunk Shui and the DVD side is John Oates: Live At The Historic Wheeler Opera House; the bonus live CD that accompanied the live DVD is not included.

The album title is a play on the Chinese system of aesthetics Feng Shui.
