This release marks the 10th anniversary of Australian Grammy-winning rockers Wolfmother's self-titled debut album, released in 2005. Featuring classics like 'Woman', 'Joker & the Thief', 'White Unicorn' and 'Mind's Eye", critics cited the band's raw power, comparing it to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and classic psychedelic groups like Blue Cheer.

The 13 tracks on the original album release are supplemented by another CD of demos, b-sides, re-mixes and live recordings, many of them from the band's fabled Velvet Sound Demo, recorded at the Sydney studio of the same name in a single day for Interscope and producer Dave Sardy before arriving in the States to commence working on their proper debut.

Lead vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale described the process of recording the demos "We just banged out that whole record in one day. And you can hear it's pretty close to where the record actually ended up. I can't believe we were that good and we hadn't toured, we hadn't made any records before, we had no experience. It's like, 'What the hell was going on?'"

After Stockdale formed the band in Sydney with bassist Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett, Wolfmother began jamming in his studio, an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the city, earning a princely $37 - and free beer - for their first gig in a local pub, picking out their name on the fly.

The first album was recorded at Sound City (the drums), Pass Studios in Burbank (bass, guitars and some vocals) and Sound Factory.
