According to bassist Guto Pryce the album was "something that the record company wanted to do, and we were fine with that, but we were in the middle of making ... Love Kraft [so that] was where our heads were at". Despite this they did pick the track listing, a process they found easy. The band performed just two gigs in support of the album as they considered a 'greatest hits tour' "wasn't really us". [2]
