Prior to playing at Tokyo's TLG club in 2001 Dave & Barbara compiled and mastered a personal selection of rare and unreleased tracks. The compilation was sold in a strictly limited edition under the title of 'TLG Commemorative CD' to TLG concertgoers and has not been available since. The music remains unchanged from the Japanese edition but the album now features a completely new design by artist Michael Inns and a 12-page colour booklet containing photos from the duo's personal archive, full track credits, new text and song notes by Dave Stewart. Musical contributors include Andy Reynolds (guitar), Jakko Jakszyk (guitar), Gavin Harrison (drums) and Annie Whitehead (trombone).

Dave Stewart says: "After the long delay in releasing our recent album Green and Blue we wanted to keep the ball rolling and get more material out there for our listeners. Barbara and I really enjoy the music in this collection so we decided to make it available as an interim release while we work on new songs for our next album."
