AllMusic[1]

The name of the compilation is a reference to their 1976 album, 15 Big Ones, which included fifteen songs and commemorated their fifteenth anniversary (two songs from that album, "It's OK" and "Rock and Roll Music", are included here).

In Japan, the disc was released with a bonus, 51st track; the single version of Be True To Your School; the track was included also on the single disc version of the compilation, which was released in 2012 too.[2]
