Most of these stories have had only very limited distribution prior to this publication. In 1993 there was an earlier, smaller collection also called "La Rentree Gauloise" which was only available in French. It also contained a story called L'Antiquaire (The Antique Dealer) as filler which was not by Goscinny nor Uderzo, does not fit with the other stories and contains two recycled and out-of-character villains. That story has not been reprinted, but otherwise Class Act is an expanded, updated version of this.
