Travel Edition is the band's first compilation released in the US, as previous collections Too Young to Die: Singles 1990–1995 and Smash the System: Singles and More were released in Europe only.
As a sweetener to fans, the compilation features two new tracks: "Primrose Hill" and "Fascination". "Primrose Hill" is essentially a stripped-down instrumental version of the single "Soft Like Me". The collection also features the rarely heard edit of "Avenue".
