All of the tracks on the album were selected from his various recordings for RCA Nashville between 1983–87. There is one track that was not originally a single called "She's Ready for Someone to Love Her", which makes fully half of this greatest hits track list identical to the most recent 1987 album I Prefer the Moonlight.

One single that is notably missing is "Tomb of the Unknown Love" from 1985's The Heart of the Matter. The song was a #1 single in both the US and Canada. Also missing is Rogers' 1986 single "The Pride is Back" which made #30 on the US Billboard AC chart, it had not yet been released on any album. "I Don't Call Him Daddy" was released as a single in support of this album, but with little promotion it peaked at #86 on the country chart.

gollark: It doesn't really have a governance structure in place and nobody would accept one.
gollark: Like apparently lots of English things it runs on bizarre informal consensus which kind of holds together.
gollark: They should publish the grammar as BNF or something.
gollark: I'd assume *not*, since they mostly developed before there was sufficient global communication to make it work nicely.
gollark: Is this just a normal thing for most other languages which English is totally missing?
