It was digitally remastered and reissued on CD and vinyl on 18 May 2018. Greenwood's brother, Radiohead bassist Colin, plays bass on the album. It is notable for be the first "solo" album released by any member of Radiohead. Currently, Colin Greenwood (Jonny's brother) is the only Radiohead member that has not yet released any solo material.
