The album is a deluxe reissue of their 1992 compilation The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History.

Disc one compiles all tracks from their two previous EP's (Son of a Gun and Dying for It) and debut LP record (Dum-Dum - their only full-length release before 2010's Sex with an X), in chronological order of release, with the exception of the previously unreleased track "Bitch", which is inserted after what was the fourth track on Dum-Dum.

Disc two includes demos and live tracks recorded in Bristol in December 1986 and London in June 1988.

The mixes used of tracks 8-19 on disc one differ to the mixes used on the original Dum-Dum album and The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History compilation, having been remixed by Jamie Watson at Chamber Studios in November 2008.

All songs written and composed by Eugene Kelly/Frances McKee except "You Think You're a Man" by Geoff Deane and "I Didn't Know I Loved You ('Til I Saw You Rock 'n' Roll)" by Gary Glitter/Mike Leander.
