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.

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]]) to record parts.

One track planned for recording was [[Inside The Mind of Simon]], a track [[Joe Hawley]] penned in 2004. This however would never happen, due to budgetary and time constraints. By October 2nd, the band only had two tracks left to record<ref>[https://holler-at-us.livejournal.com/57327.html Doris the cat - rf. LiveJournal.]</ref>. Meanwhile, Court Jones was working hard on the album cover with art design by Joe Hawley. | ||
