-Tally Hall signed a recording contract with [[Quack!Media]]'s [[Al McWilliams]] in 2005 and started recording in June of the same year. McWilliams pressured the group to finish the album in about a month, but they needed more time to finish the album. They would also run into budgetary concerns, as the album cost more than triple their original budget.<ref>https://digital.bentley.umich.edu/midaily/mdp.39015071755156/355</ref> After 4 months of recording and mixing, the album would be finished and released on November 22nd, 2005.
+Despite having a major hit on the early internet and being a popular band in their home of Michigan, Tally Hall didn't think about re-recording the songs featured on [[Complete Demos]] until they signed a recording contract with [[Quack!Media]]'s [[Al McWilliams]] in 2005. The idea came to record those songs, plus newly written ones, starting in June of the same year. McWilliams would give the band 2 weeks to record the album, but they needed more time to finish the album.<ref>[https://www.himalaya.com/episode/episode-5-andrew-horowitz-in-a-state-15932783 In A State Andrew Horowitz interview]</ref> They would also run into budgetary concerns, as the album cost more than triple their original budget to create.<ref>https://digital.bentley.umich.edu/midaily/mdp.39015071755156/355</ref> Part of this cost would be spent pulling in music school graduates and friends like [[Jeremy Kittel]] ([[Be Born]]) and Bobby Streng ([[Welcome To Tally Hall (Song)|Welcome To Tally Hall]]). After 4 months of recording and mixing, the album would be finished and released on November 22nd, 2005.
-Later on, the album was officially re-released on September 12th, 2006. The reasons for the re-release were never 100% clear, but this re-release coincided with additional publicity on MTV, national distribution in all major retail stores, and various other TV appearances including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Show_(U.S._TV_series) The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson].

 This 2006 re-release also fixed some errors with the 2005 release. In the original pressing, the [[Zubin]] page in the lyric sheets was colored purple instead of blue and the spine of the CD had a typographical error. It reads "Marvin's Marvelous Mechan<u>ci</u>al Museum" as opposed to "Mechan<u>ic</u>al". Both of these errors were fixed for the 2006 re-release.
