In November 2018, the album was repackaged and expanded as 58 Golden Greats on Cherry Red Records. The new cover also referenced an Elvis Presley album, this time the UK edition of Elvis' 40 Greatest.[1]
Critic Phil Freeman included the compilation on a list of records attempting to define "the state of music since 1979" in the 2007 book Marooned: The Next Generation of Desert Island Discs.[9] Noting the Fall as "one of the most polarizing bands on the planet", Freeman wrote that the album "will either begin a lifelong obsession, or you'll never make it to track two."[10] Comedian Frank Skinner became a Fall fan, "with all the zeal of a convert", after listening to the compilation in 2005, calling it "the music I've been searching for my whole life."[11]
The expanded and repackaged version, released in 2018, omitted two tracks from 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong ("Crop-Dust" and "Green Eyed Loco-Man") but added 21 tracks, mostly from the period after the release of the earlier edition.
