A compilation by The Church, which probably has to be seen in light of the fact that the band only just signed with Warner Bros., who decided to promote the band by releasing a compilation from the two 5-track EPs Remote Luxury (1984) and Persia (1984). Rather than choosing a release where the tracks from both EPs were in continuation of each other, the company chose to mix the albums. Somehow, at the same time, the band's former company, Carrere, managed to make an agreement to release the album under their own name in Europe.

The Remote Luxury Ep released in Feb. '84 (Content: 1. "Maybe These Boys" - 2. "10,000 Miles" - 3. "Into My Hands" - 4. "A Month of Sundays" - 5. "Remote Luxury "), and the Persia EP released Aug. '84 (content: 1. "Constant in Opal" - 2. "Volumes" - 3. "No Explanation" - 4. "Violet Town" - 5. "Shadow Cabinet" ).

Stylistically, there are few changes since the studio album Seance (1983) with less focus on the progressive and the neo-psychedelic elements but the album is a super fine release from these fantastic Aussies.
