Details
The album came about after the Geoff Mann-fronted line-up of the band reunited briefly to record a definitive version of "The Collector", an epic from the early 1980s which they felt they had never managed to produce a definitive version of; at the same time, a new recording of "Love Song" was made. The band decided that the best way to bring the recordings to light was as part of a compilation of their work spanning both the Geoff Mann and Andy Sears eras, which ultimately saw the light of day in 1991. The LP release was a double album, and therefore could accommodate three extra songs.
In 2001, Cyclops Records - the band's publishers at the time, who were producing a series of reissues - rereleased the CD version of the album with some alterations. The version of "Sequences" was removed, since at the time "Live and Let Live" was readily available; in its place were three different songs.

Famous quotes containing the word details:
“Then he told the news media
the strange details of his death
and they hammered him up in the marketplace
and sold him and sold him and sold him.
My death the same.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
