The album was released by Don Arden on Decca after the group had made a switch to the Immediate label headed by Andrew Loog Oldham. The album contains their hit records on Decca including their number one song "All or Nothing". The album also includes a cover of Del Shannon`s classic hit song "Runaway", and other previously unissued songs which were apparently demos. It features earlier versions of songs they re-recorded for Immediate, including "My Way Of Giving", which they had demoed for Chris Farlowe, and "(Tell Me) Have You Ever Seen Me?", which they had given to Apostolic Intervention. The album also featured their stage favourite "Baby Don`t You Do It", featuring Jimmy Winston on lead vocals and guitar. The group`s manager Don Arden sings the `operatic prologue` to their cover of "Runaway".
