The same year, Track Records also reissued Cornwell's 1999 album, Mayday, on CD.

In 2006, Cornwell told online music magazine Penny Black Music that the album "was a set of songs that I had recorded in the mid 90's which had never got released because I was out of a publishing deal and out of a record contract. On demand from the fan base we decided to put that out."[4]
