Release The album was released in the United States in 1998, to expose American audiences to the group's music before "Tubthumping," as their preceding studio albums had received only a limited stateside release and the record labels were being uncooperative with regards to the group's preceding albums there. The album compiles songs from the group's pre-''Tubthumper'' albums, from '' Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records'' to ''Swingin' with Raymond'', although the majority of the songs are from the group's two preceding albums, ''Anarchy'' and ''Swingin' with Raymond''.

Behave (Chumbawamba Song)
"(Someone's Always Telling You How To) Behave" is a song by British rock group Chumbawamba. The song, which incorporates elements of rock and dance, criticizes homophobia in pop and rock music. The group recorded it in late summer 1992 but struggled to reach an agreement with their distributor, Southern Records, over the song's quality, release formats, and promotional budget. The band ultimately opted to form their own label, Agit Prop Records, to oversee the single's release. "Behave" was released in November 1992 as a stand-alone single, following the release of their fifth studio album, ''Shhh'', earlier in the year. Because the group was touring in America at the time of the single's release, they were unable to promote it, and its commercial impact was minimal. Critical response to the song was favorable, with particular praise going to the song's chorus and its transition between the group's punk and mainstream pop eras.
