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> | 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.

Later on, the album was officially re-released on September 12th, 2006. The reasons for the re-release were never 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]. | Later on, the album was officially re-released on September 12th, 2006.

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. | This 2006 re-release also fixed some errors with the 2005 release and featured a slightly different mix.

The album was reprinted once more and was likely released on January 29th, 2007<ref>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BPYKJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details</ref>. This reprint was largely the same as the 2006 version except that Zubin's page in the lyric book is a different shade of blue and it featured a hype sticker on the front when sealed. | |||
