In 2023 to celebrate Mal’s Golden Jubilee Elton John returned the tapes and copyrights in all of the songs. Mal has now produced a re imagined and remixed version of the album including a duet with his 13 year old self ‘I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye’.

The CD has the original ‘Rocket Boy’ album plus 6 Bonus Tracks discovered on various other tapes that Mal collected from Rocket Records.

All tracks are in the "Contemporary Cristian" genre, for example Cwm Rhondda is a reggae setting of "Guide Me, O Though Great Redeemer" to the tune Cwm Rhondda.
The title track uses the tune by Hans Leo Hassler, made popular in the setting by Bach for the hymn O Sacred Head, Sore Wounded.
