The release is notable for the inclusion of a non-album track, "Karuselis upes vidū", originating from the sessions for Man ļoti patīk jaunais vilnis (1982), and two out-takes from the sessions for Alise (1984) - studio dialogue entitled "Cik zaļas acis zutim" and an instrumental mix of "Hercogienes dziesma".

The album additionally boasts the most exquisite packaging among the band's official releases, featuring a close-up of a bass guitar on the back, portrait photographs of the band members on the inner sleeve, plus a leaflet with track details inside.
