Overview

The compilation consists of three songs from Sandra's debut studio album The Long Play (1985), five from her second studio album Mirrors (1986), and two new recordings: a cover version of "Everlasting Love" and "Stop for a Minute". Despite the title, the album includes the non-single track "Don't Cry (The Breakup of the World)" from Mirrors. The material was produced by Michael Cretu and Armand Volker. The album's booklet included short reminiscences for every track. A video version of the album was released on VHS, including nine music videos and a behind-the-scenes material.[2]

"Everlasting Love" was released as the lead single from the album and became on of Sandra's biggest hits, reaching the top 5 in Germany, Greece and Switzerland. "Stop for a Minute" followed as the second and final single in early 1988, and was a considerable hit in Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. The album itself was a top 20 chart hit in Germany and Switzerland.
