John Cornfield recorded and mixed the two new tracks featured on the album at Sphere Studios. [10]

The Guardian newspaper said of the DVD compilation, "Once you've sat through the in-depth, career-spanning documentary on disc one, it's hard to come to any conclusion other than being Supergrass is probably the most joyful job in the world." [11]
