The album contains seventeen tracks, including ten UK top 10 hits and three new songs: "Testify", "Dreaming" (which both reached the UK top 20) and a cover version of The Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes". A limited edition was released, including a bonus live album with eight tracks recorded at the Later... with Jools Holland M People special, plus enhanced content. The album is now available in the United States through iTunes.
  
  There was also an advanced sampler called Classic and a promotional version containing the same content as the bonus live disc but with more sound excerpts and full videos.
