The majority of the compilation is made up of Rother's solo work from his seven studio albums released between 1977 and 1987.

That year Rother had secured the rights to his back catalogue and re-issued all of his solo albums with bonus tracks and remastered sound on his own label, Random Records.

Similarly The six bonus tracks, some of which appear on the individual studio albums in longer and differing forms, act as a compilation of the new material.

In 2000, Rother re-issued all of the albums again including Radio in partnership between Random Records and BSC Music.

Station 17 is a project that gives disabled people the opportunity to work as an artist in music, movie and video.
