The album contains some of the band's best known songs such as "If I Had You", "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime", "All The Love In The World", material from album This World's For Everyone, four new recordings as well as rarities previously unreleased on CD.
Kollection was originally only available for members of the Korgis fan club and issued in 2004, but was commercially released the following year along with a DVD by the same name, Kollection.
The album was followed by single "Something About The Beatles", recorded and produced in April 2006 by James Warren and Glenn Tommey.
In 2009 the 2006 version of the Kollection album, including the track "Something About The Beatles", and the Kollection DVD were re-released as a CD/DVD combo under the title Something About The Korgis.
