Noteworthy Information:

  • This compilation was specifically curated to be a companion piece to the band's 1980 Greatest Hits album, and as such, it intentionally avoids repeating any songs from that release.

  • The album's focus is on the "deeper cuts" and fan favorites from Aerosmith's Columbia Records period (1973–1982), which is why it includes tracks from albums like Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks, Draw the Line, Night in the Ruts, and Rock in a Hard Place.

  • A key selling point for fans at the time was the inclusion of the studio version of "Chip Away the Stone," which had only been released as a single and on the live album Live! Bootleg before this compilation.

  • The album was released during Aerosmith's late-80s commercial comeback following the success of their album Permanent Vacation, serving to re-introduce fans to their classic-era material.
