Notes:
Clear plastic jewel case and tray. A rectangular black hype sticker is affixed to the cellophane on sealed copies. Initial orders from the label itself arrived in a "Factory Benelux Edition" slipcase.
The booklet contains recording credits, additional artwork and a short essay. Durations are not printed anywhere on the release and sourced via a computer read of the disc.
On the album's initial release in 1999 the name of the group on the cover/artwork is "Other Two", however in line with the earlier LTM reissue (2010) it has been amended to "The Other Two" here.
It should be noted that this reissue is similar but not identical the 2010 LTM reissue with subtle cosmetic differences on certain track titles and in the accompanying booklet.

All Music Guide Review by Aaron Badgley:
It has been six years since the debut disc by the Other Two (The Other Two & You), an off-shoot band from New Order featuring Gillian Gilbert and Steven Morris. Their first album has a very strong pop music feel; while pleasant enough, it is not a brilliant record. Six years and many struggles later this album appeared. It seems that this was a difficult album to release. It had been recorded for over a year before its release date, and two singles that were earmarked to precede it were canceled without explanation. One single, the wonderful title track "Super Highways," did make it the public, but it was as difficult as the album was to find in stores. That's a shame, since this album is stunning -- absolutely brilliant, with incredible hook-filled melodies, mesmerizing vocals (some tracks featuring the incredible Melanie Williams), and tight production. It may not be as accessible as their first, but given the repeated listenings it demands, the album proves rewarding. While the music has some New Order overtones, the Other Two have created their own sound, much like Electronic managed to do on their third release. New Order fans will enjoy the music, but it is different enough to keep non-New Order fans interested as well. The basis of the music remains in the pop category, but this time around, it is more aggressive. Complete with dance beats approaching and sounds mixed into the music, it is all there for your exploration. In a just world, this album would top the charts and be available wherever CDs are sold; It hasn't, and it isn't, but it is well-worth the search. You will not be disappointed.
