AllMusic | [1] |
Album obeležuje 25. obletnico izdajanja singlov skupine in vsebuje vse britanske hit single skupine ter še nekatere druge single, ki se v Združenem kraljestvu niso uvrstili na lestvico ali pa so bili hiti v drugih državah. Vse skladbe z albuma so 7" singl verzije. To je tudi prva kompilacija skupine, ki vsebuje skladbo »Across the Border«, ki bi morala leta 1980 iziti kot EP, vendar ni izšla. Čeprav si skladbe ne sledijo v kronološkem vrstnem redu, gre za verjetno najbolj obsežen sklop hitov skupine izmed številnih kompilacij.
Album se je uvrstil na 60. mesto britanske lestvice albumov.[2] Album je izšel tudi v Evropi pod imenoma The Swedish Collection in The Danish Collection.
