Text on the Rancid website promoting the CD collection reads "Throughout the years we've had a lot of songs that were unreleased or released on compilations, soundtracks and as b-sides. Now we've compiled them all onto one album to make available for all of you." This claim of completeness is overstated, as many additional songs are omitted from the collection despite having appearing on official releases throughout the years. These include all the songs from Rancid's first eponymous 7" EP (on Lookout! Records 1992) as well
