When the original Mune Mud debut album was compiled, it was not meant to be distributed to friends and family. It was an organization of the music Jason had recorded on various tapes throughout 1990-1991. So only a couple of people other than Jason even heard those songs. But after the relative successes of Olympus in 1991, Underwater Problem Factory in 1992, and Pryme Material in 1993, Jason decided to create a real album based on the unreleased debut album from a few years earlier.

The major changes from the original album to this release was the different album cover and the slight change in the playlist. A couple of the songs changed positions on the album, some of the better songs moved towards the front of the album. A different version of "Why Did You Go?" was used on this album. And a politically incorrect song title was shortened to be friendlier.

The album cover was basically the same. Whereas the first version was deisgned on the Commodore 64, the cover for the re-release was designed on a PC.

This re-release still reached a small audience, but at least a few more people got to hear the roots of Mune Mud. There are plans to release this album yet a third time, this time on CD and with more tracks than the first two versions.
