Details
The album came about after the Geoff Mann-fronted lineup 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, 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.
