"Various States of Disrepair - Complete Works 1994-1997" collected some of Hickey's EPs, splits and compilation tracks, along with unreleased recordings from the era (though it was not truly Hickey's "complete" recorded output during that time). It was originally released on CD in 1997 via Poverty Records. "Various States" was re-pressed on CD by S.P.A.M. Records following Luv's passing in 2002. In 2012, 1-2-3-4 Go! Records released the compilation on vinyl for the first time, marking the tenth anniversary of Luv's death. The vinyl issue was a double LP with bonus tracks, but still incomplete; missing were cover versions of "American In Me" (originally by The Avengers) and "Kingdom Come" (Manowar), as well as alternate recordings of "Hey Cutie Pie" and "Food Stamps + Drink Tickets" (all four omitted songs had been released on various compilation CDs during the band's existence).
