Leta 2000 je Jeff Lynne našel nov navdih za produkcijo glasbe s skupino. Tako se je vrnil v studio in se prvič po petnajstih letih posvetil ELO projektu Flashback, ki je izšel leto pred novim studijskim albumom skupine, Zoom. Rezultat je bila digitalno remasterizirana kompilacija, ki je bila, v nasprotju s predhodnimi kompilacijami, osebno odobrena in potrjena s strani Lynna. Set vsebuje skladbe z vseh enajstih studijskih albumov, ki so izšli do leta 2000, vključno z živo verzijo skladbe »Great Balls of Fire«, ki je prvič izšla na albumu v živo The Night the Light Went On in Long Beach in predelano verzijo edinega britanskega prvouvrščenega hita skupine »Xanadu«. Notranje opombe je prispeval David Wild, pri vsaki skladbi pa je zapisan Lynnov komentar.
Vse pesmi je napisal in uglasbil Jeff Lynne, razen kjer je posebej označeno.
