Upon its release, NME remarked, "Unfortunately for Big Country, 1983 is now a very long time ago – not that you'd guess it from this authentically sweaty live greatest hits set. 'Wonderland' and 'Chance' are as sturdily anthemic as ever, but this is strictly for those lad(d)ies who already love their Big Country."[2]
The cassette and CD releases include these additional tracks:
All tracks written by Stuart Adamson, Tony Butler, Bruce Watson and Mark Brzezicki, unless stated otherwise.
