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)
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
