The album includes many unreleased tracks, some of which are alternate versions of previously released songs. The previously unreleased songs in any form outside of their respective films are "Everybird", "Speak (Bol)", and "Nocturnal".[2]
Originally only released on limited-edition vinyl on Record Store Day (13 April 2019) through Real World, it eventually became available on digital streaming services later that month to accommodate demand.[1][3] A digital single, "This is Party Man", was released before the album. It is a new version of the song and features new lyrics from Peter Gabriel.[4] A video for "Everybird" was released on 12 July 2019 featuring footage from the animated film for which it was originally created.[5] In May 2020 it was announced that the album would be made available for general release on vinyl and CD on 12 June 2020.[6]
