The most notable omission from the compilation is "Don't Let It End", Dennis DeYoung's top-10 single from their 1983 album, Kilroy Was Here. Another omission includes the top-30 hit "Love at First Sight" from 1990's Edge of the Century. Additionally, no material from their 1999 album, Brave New World, is included.

This is the only Styx compilation album to date to combine the original versions of songs from the band's early Wooden Nickel albums with their later material. Their Wooden Nickel breakout hit "Lady" was included on the 1995 Greatest Hits collection, but as a note-for-note re-recording, labelled "Lady '95". As such, this is the first truly career-spanning collection for the band ever compiled.

In 2006, the album was re-released and repackaged as part of the Gold series.
