The new edition of Provision features sleeve notes from Green Gartside and bandmate David Gamson, delving into the story of the album nearly forty years after its original release. The CD edition has two extras: the dub of "Boom! There She Was" and an extended version of "Oh Patti".
Roger Troutman, founder of the Zapp band, brought his Talkbox instrument to the sessions. Dan Huff provided guitar for the album sessions.
Miles Davis agreed to help complete a track Green had first started in London, and his trumpet appears on "Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry For Loverboy)". Davis had also covered Scritti's "Perfect Way" from the previous album Cupid & Psyche 85.
