The album was produced by George Clinton and Bootsy Collins under the aliases Dr. Funkenstein and Starr-Mon.
In 2007, the album was licensed through Rhino Records and reissued through the Collectors Choice music service.
The Bay State Banner noted that "Bootsy's Rubber Band now depends as much on formula and absurdity for its own sake as it does on music.
2" features almost two minutes of music that was not included on the album version and has never been released on CD.
The B-side of "Jam Fan (Hot)", "Shejam (Almost Bootsy Show)", featured an instrumental version of the song that also was not on the album and has not been issued on CD.
