The 2010 reissue contained an early alternate mix of 'Rainballs' presented in its original not so form. The original released mix featured overdubs that gave the song its signature psychedelic sound.

The second master take was recorded on the 17th July 1971 which featured Peter on acoustic guitar, Sam on, Devon on tambourine, and Chudley on. It was during this same session that Torquil's lead guitar was turned around so that it was playing backwards.

The third master take was recorded on the 18th July 1971 which featured Sam on, Torquil on , and Devon on. The fourth master take was recorded on the 19th July 1971 which featured s by Peter, Sam, Torquil, and Devon.

's cover of the song featured Peter McDonald on lead vocals, although the band had tried recording several takes of the song in the studio with Sam Whitby and Torquil Dohrn handling the lead vocal.

The album's reception was mostly positive in the United Kingdom and the United States but mostly mixed everywhere else. Some critics praised the '' approach to some of the new mixes, while others were not so enthusiastic, saying that they didn't see the point, and that most of the songs on the album were not immediately released, and had been released as outtakes on reissues of the band's studio albums or on the band's album of 1971 rock and roll covers. So they didn't see the point of the band making new mixes of the songs that they either never intended to be released, or were previously rejected from their studio albums from the 70's.

The album managed to reach #5 on the chart in the United States but only briefly. It wasn't quite as successful in the United Kingdom, only reaching #11 for a brief period. Peter McDonald and Sam Whitby were nitpicky about the album, saying that no one paid careful attention to the number of songs each band member got featuring themselves on lead vocals. They said that they should have been more careful because they felt that there was way too much Torquil Dohrn on the album.

18th December 2010
The band would continue to record a cover or two during their on/off hiatus from recording professionally. They were planning to record another studio album, but they weren't entirely sure when they would record another one.

On this day the band recorded a cover of a song  which had been written by, Tom Teeley, and Glenn Wyka, and covered by on their 1987 album ''.

Why chose to record this cover is uncertain, but a contributing factor may have been that they wanted to record another song that shared its name with  that they'd covered previously.

19th December 2010
Devon O'Connell and Wilbur Milardo respectively add percussion and overdubs to the band's cover of 'Don't Bring Me Down' the following morning. The song was now completed.
