additional information
This release was previously part of the Rejuvenation (2001-2014) box set, which was released in March 2019. A month later, it was issued separately.



Bonus material included the Internet-only pre-release teaser Too Much Television and the two bonus song from the Home single namely Bird On A Wire and Mighty Joe Moon.



Jim expanded on the sleeve notes he'd originally written for Rejuvenation (2001-2014) and so the version in the booklet is longer.
