The project issued in September 1996 by Polydor Record, but only in Norway, seven months later Citadel Records released the tracks as a picture disc CD in Britain, followed by a box set contained a gatefold LP and Hunter's Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star presented as a cloth-bound 1972 desk diary. Michael Picasso and The Artful Dodger appeared as singles, the latter featuring the non-album F*ck it Up.
Off the radar for some time the press reviews were few but mostly laudatory.
A thirty-date British tour from April to June 1997 was set to promote the release with drummer Alan Young, keyboardist Ian Gibbons, guitarists Paul Cuddeford, bassist Paul Francis, and the ever-present Darrell Bath. Later appearances came in September to November. Hunter began to perform a new song Salvation live but didn't record a studio version as he was saving it as the last track on his last CD.
There were three VH1 television appearances during May and Hunter did the channel's My Top Ten focusing on his favorite recent releases and for Take It to the Bridge he recorded Michael Picasso and Irene Wilde.
