In early 2007 a special edition of the album was released featured a bonus remix EP which was originally sold at Eskimo Joe concerts during their Beating like a Drum tour.

To record the album the band enlisted sound engineer Matt Lovell (The Mess Hall, Jebediah, Sleepy Jackson), and also took on production duties themselves for the first time.

The album is noted for being heavily influenced by the production techniques and sound of early 1980s rock, with many similarities to vintage Icehouse and INXS.

The cover art, by Brisbane artist Dane Lovett, is made up of three full separate artworks of the band members.

This remix EP was released with the special edition of Black Fingernails, Red Wine, to promote the Beating like a Drum tour.
