Re-release of a selection of tracks originally released on DJ Junk's label Junk:
- tracks 1 and 2 were originally released in 1992 on DJ Junk - Don't Stop / Rush Higher,

- tracks 11 and 12 were made in 1994 but weren't released, an alternate version of track 12 was released on DJ Junk - Break Dance Records - Junk 10.

The back cover of the release explains that most of the DAT masters for the tracks were lost, so, many of the tracks had to be re-mastered from the original Akai S950 / Atari ST1040 floppy disks. However, despite this, not all of the tracks are true lossless encodings / recorded from a digital source:
- tracks 1, 4 and 6 have been encoded from (probably high-bitrate) lossy audio files, but these lossy files were at least digitally sourced,
- tracks 3 and 5 have been sourced from a record, not a digital source, but they are at least lossless encodings.
