The compilation spans two discs and it is a mix of singles, album tracks and B-sides compiled by lead singer Brett Anderson . Disc one includes all of the band's singles excluding "Positivity " and "Attitude ". Disc two includes album tracks from the band's first three albums as well as seven B-sides from disc one of Sci-Fi Lullabies . Both Anderson and former guitarist Bernard Butler were involved in the remastering of the tracks with Chris Potter . The cover artwork is designed by Elizabeth Peyton . Unlike previous hits compilation Singles , this best-of collection was fully endorsed by the band.[ 12] According to Anderson, it was led by the band: "...that was kind of the whole point of this compilation... the 2 CDs. The first CD we picked, and then the second CD is kind of fan favourites in a way... the fans' favourites and the band’s favourites... a bit more obscure songs and lots of B-sides."[ 13]
