The album is a collection of B-sides, live recordings, radio sessions and outtakes recorded by Grant Hart as a solo artist and as part of Nova Mob. Originally released in a limited edition of 1000 copies to coincide with Hart's fall 2010 European tour.[5] It's not a comprehensive retrospective, with the 2541 EP being the most obvious omission.[6] Perhaps surprisingly the Shoot EP is represented, given that Grant Hart was always critical of its release.[7]

From the original liner notes: "Dear listener, what you are holding is a collection of rarities from my career from 1988 to 1995, with a couple of newer songs thrown in for fun listening. Mostly they were recorded for one time airplay on cool stations in Europe. Some were recorded live at clubs or in the broadcast studio. Others were outtakes that appeared on compilation discs or on singles limited to a few hundred copies." – Grant Hart[8]

The album was rereleased on vinyl in June 2016 by Bang! Records.[9][10]
