In 2009, the album was re-issued on CD featuring completely remastered tracks with an alternate track-listing and multiple bonus material.

VR, who were always known for a hard-edged approach, initially grounded on The Beatles in the early 70s, diversified their sound with complex art rock arrangements, mainly carried out by Alexei Puzyriov and Pavel Slobodkin.

The soft ballad Я к тебе не подойду, albeit strongly dispersing with a solid sound of the band, appeared to be one of their most popular songs ever recorded and was repeatedly covered by various artists ever since.

Что такого, composed by Slobodkin, features an Elvis Presley-inspired riff played by Puzyryov with the help of a guitar compressor and ironic lyrics delivered by Lerman.

А мне-то зачем is an upbeat traditional pop/rock song, displaying an earlier approach of the band, based on beat music.

Albeit a definite heavy approach of Скорый поезд, it got a large airplay within radio broadcast and didn't challenge difficulties within controller councils of Melodiya.

Всегда вдали, the concluding track, is an ode to Deep Purple's "Hard Lovin' Man" (VR repeatedly praised Deep Purple in their songs as "Любовь – дитя планеты" "Вечный огонь", "Пойду ль я, выйду ль я" and occasionally played Deep Purple covers at concerts) featuring heavy distorted guitar riffs by Puzyryov and solos by Degtiariuk and Buynov and vocals by Lerman, accompanied by Alyoshin and Puzyryov within choruses.

The song "А мне-то Зачем", composed by the bandleader Pavel Slobodkin and was originally drafted as "Я парень простой" in 1972, but it was reversed owing to "offensive" lyrics.

"Отчего", penned by Yury Antonov, initially was played live in 1972–73 as "Двенадцать месяцев" with alternate lyrics but the same arrangement.

"Пойду ли, выйду ль я" is a remake of a traditional Russian folk song, sung by Igor Gataullin.
