Although "Over Rising" was never included on any of the band's studio albums, it did appear on their first greatest hits compilation, 1998's Melting Pot. It was one of two non-album singles (excluding the re-release of their debut single "Indian Rope") released by the group in 1991. "Over Rising" was the last Charlatans single to feature the group's original guitarist John Baker, who was replaced by Mark Collins in mid-1991.
