Following the success of 1998's' This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours', Manic Street Preachers planned an ambitious follow-up to be released as two distinct albums: an aggressive, rapid-fire return to their roots called 'Solidarity' and 'Door To The River', a more conciliatory, reflective collection. During the recording sessions, the band got cold feet and settled on a single album that forced often conflicting ideas to sit side by side on the same record.

Whilst going through the band's archive to put together an anniversary version of 'Know Your Enemy', Nicky Wire found the original tapes of 'Solidarity' and 'Door To The River' that he'd made up in the studio during recording. When he put forward the idea of recreating those records, James Dean Bradfield agreed on the condition that he could remix the entire record with the band's long-time studio partner Dave Eringa.

2CD Deluxe Edition features both albums in full, plus 2 previously unreleased gems in Rosebud and Studies in Paralysis, plus previously unseen photos from the recording sessions taken by regular collaborator Mitch Ikeda.
