In an interview concerning the record's re-release in 2007, Scott Hutchison claims that: "little bits and pieces [were] re-recorded. We’ve re-amped some of the drums in different rooms to get an ambience about it. It’s louder and everything is fuller and bigger.

I've thought about it before." ] ]

In the same interview, Grant Hutchison mentions that: "Fat Cat were just going to release it on a low scale as a taster for the new album. But when we remixed and mastered it, it sounded like a proper album and we felt those songs were too good to just brush under carpet."
