In October 2023, the Corrs announced a re-issue of the album on vinyl featuring newly-recorded covers of Fleetwood Mac songs "Little Lies", "Everywhere" and "Songbird" to complement their previously-released cover of "Dreams". As a tribute to Christine McVie, writer of all three songs, the re-issued vinyl was released on 1 December 2023, a year and a day since McVie's death. [2]
