"Baby Honey", "Speedway Star" and "Not Unloved" are re-recorded versions as opposed to the original versions. This compilation marks the third time they have recorded "Baby Honey" for a studio release, having previously done so in both 1984 (for their "Million Tears" single) and 1986 (for their debut album "Up for a Bit with The Pastels").They have also recorded it twice for the BBC. Several songs have also been slightly remixed.
The single version of "Crawl Babies" that is featured is also a different recording from the version on "Up for a Bit", featuring a more jangly guitar tone and a much faster tempo. It is also slightly longer.
