The CD will also feature an enhanced section with lots of videos featuring backstage footage, music videos and a video of the band answering questions asked by the fans.

There will also be a digital download of the album available where track 4 will be replaced, instead of "Amethyst" you will get "Floatation Therapy" which was a B-side to "Floods".

The "They Liked You Better When You Were Dead" version of Amethyst is the version that appears on this CD as track 4. Hazy Eyes also follows it just like on "They Liked You Better When You Were Dead" but is unlisted so basically you get two songs for the price of one. The songs are recorded this way since Simpson was still committed to his Busted record deal, with the record company allowing him to release only a 5 track EP. By putting the two songs on one track, the band were able to get around this restriction and put 6 songs on the EP. 4 lines of Lost Like Tears In Rain also appear as lyrics in the booklet after Amethysts lyrics when the song doesn't even appear on the CD.
