The Fraternity Years is a retrospective album that has been released in CD format. As the name implies, the album collects most of the music from the many singles that Mouse and the Traps released on Fraternity Records, so the last two singles released by the band in 1969 on Bell Records are omitted, as are the novelty song "Would You Believe" and the cover of "Psychotic Reaction" by Positively 13 O'Clock. However, the album includes 7 previously unreleased songs.
