This would become Summer's third multi-platinum album and spanned Summer's career from her breakthrough, Love to Love You Baby right through to the more rock-influenced tracks of her Bad Girls album. The majority of the tracks were either remixed or edited, largely to fit such a large number of tracks onto two records. Each side, barring side D, runs as a continuous mix. The compilation also contained two brand-new tracks. The first of these was the pop-disco flavored On the Radio (which opened the album, and closed it in a longer version). Written for the film Foxes, this song was reminiscent of some of her other hits in that it started off with a slow beat. The song was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category. The second new track was a duet with Barbra Streisand entitled No More Tears (Enough Is Enough). It also had a slow beginning but evolved into a disco number. An early example of girl power, the song was released as a 12" Disco single and hit No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 (making it Summer's fourth chart-topper). It was also a big international hit, the shorter version of On the Radio was also released as a single, and became Summer's ninth Top 5 on the Hot 100. On the Radio was Summer's final release with Casablanca Records. She had not been happy for some time with the label's treatment of her - she felt exploited and that she was being made to portray a sexual image with which she was not comfortable. At one point this had driven her to depression and suicide attempts. However by 1979 she had become a born-again Christian and rediscovered herself. She signed a deal with Geffen Records in 1980. The album came with a 24x32 full color poster.
