The album was originally intended for release in 1998 on Ignition Records, with contributions solicited from various artists starting in 1997. "Hot Thing," a new song by the reunited Big Star (Alex Chilton, Stephens, Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow), was also slated for inclusion. However, after the label went under, the project was shelved. Eight years later, the album was finally released on Koch Records and featured all of the original artists' contributions. A vinyl edition was released on the eOne label in 2018 for Record Store Day Black Friday.[1][2]
