The album includes music from Winwood's solo career, as well as groups with which he has performed, including the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith.

The CD was released as a box set and a single disc.

[1] As of October 2014, the box set is out of print (but can be purchased digitally), while the single disc is still available.

The songs "The Finer Things" and "Roll With It" are exclusive to the single disc version and cannot be found on the box set.

Stevie Chick from BBC Music writes: "the four-CD box-set version of Revolutions examines [Winwood's] back-catalogue in great depth, but a simultaneously released 16-track single-CD package is faultless.
