Two of the tracks on the album, "Arizona" and "Spirit", are taken from the "Easy to Assemble" album, which was never officially released after it was widely pirated.

The album was subsequently uploaded to a peer-to-peer site and pirated by Russian criminals to such an extent that it was felt that it was not worth releasing it officially. He self-financed "Somersault", raising almost £400,000 by selling his Ferrari and remortgaging his house, and when it was released he employed the company Web Sheriff to monitor and close down sites that were distributing the album illegally.
