The recordings, which have been newly remixed and remastered, were originally due to be released after Gov't Mule's Life Before Insanity in 2000 but plans were shelved following the death of bassist Allen Woody the same year.

Now the album will launch later this month on 2CD, double 180g vinyl and on digital formats and features original tracks, James Brown covers and songs by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter.
