A 'Trophy Edition' of the album, featuring four extra songs, including Alice Cooper collaboration Stay In Your Grave, was released last month, doubtless delighting those who'd purchased the original album seven months earlier.

"We held back some of our favourite tracks planning for their release to coincide with our tour of North America," the band said in a statement in October. "Even though our year got turned upside down [the North American tour scheduled for May was cancelled], we still needed to deliver these new songs to our fans! These tunes continue the collaborative spirit that you hear throughout Ohio Players including Mi Tormenta with our extremely talented brother Dannylux, I'm With The Band and Sin City with Beck and just in time for Halloween, Stay In Your Grave, our collaboration with Greg Cartwright and absolute legend Alice Cooper!"
