The album was originally conceived as just the first eight tracks, as on the cassette and LP versions. The tracks "Taste", "Here and Now" and "Nowhere" originally featured on the Fall EP were included to add value to the (then, more expensive) CD version. Along with "Dreams Burn Down" these tracks made up the complete Fall EP.

The album was re-released on 24 September 2001 featuring the original 11 tracks and the following bonus tracks taken from the Today Forever EP:

1. "Unfamiliar"
2. "Sennen"
3. "Beneath"
4. "Today"

The band name and title, visible in the image of the album, were added for the re-release. Originally the album cover had the band name in raised text in the location of the visible text and a raised album title in the lower right corner.

The album has recently checked in at number 39 on NME's '100 greatest British albums of all-time' list in 2006.
