Released in 1991, it was Young's first "greatest hits" collection, compiling tracks from the past decade.

The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number one (Young's third and final UK number one album to date) and has been certified Triple Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry for UK sales in excess of 900,000 copies.

The album featured tracks from all of Young's previous four studio albums as well as four tracks not previously released on a Young album: "I'm Only Foolin' Myself", "Senza una donna", "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Both Sides Now".

"Both Sides Now" which featured Clannad, was an edited version of the track on the soundtrack to the film Switch.

A mastering error on some CD copies divided the track "Both Sides Now" into two sections.
