This compilation album is slightly different from the similarly titled album from 1980, which was released only in Japan,[2] and features mostly previously-released studio cuts, taken from the five studio albums Rainbow had released at that point.

However, "Jealous Lover", the first song written by Blackmore and Turner, had been available only as a B-side in Europe (to "Can't Happen Here") and on the Jealous Lover EP in the United States.

The original vinyl-release was a 2-LP set, in a gatefold-sleeve which contained photos of the band during its various incarnations, and reached No.

[3] As of 2019, this compilation album has never been released in the United States.
