The compilation has since been re-released in UK and Europe by EMI under the title The Essential Collection in 1997 and then again in 1999.
The compilation is notable for including at least one song from every Blondie's album but omitting the band's biggest hits such as "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", and "Rapture".

gollark: People might disagree with how you run things and that's really not a good reason to imprison/whatever them.
gollark: Or just anyone who happens to be *related* to dissidents, to some extent anyone made worse off by some poor decision made somewhere, someone who is *taken* to be a dissident even if they aren't somehow, people who are living in fear of being considered one, etc.Also, I do care about said dissidents, soooo...
gollark: The world is very interconnected these days so stuff happening elsewhere affects me somewhat. And I do also care about suffering being caused, even if that doesn't directly affect people in my country.
gollark: I can definitely judge them by their *actions* and whatnot.
gollark: ???
