The compilation thus focuses on the earlier years of the group, only featuring recordings made by the original line-up before Neville Staples, Terry Hall and Lynval Golding left the band in 1981/1982. A notable omission is the group's second (and last) number one hit Ghost Town, released as a single in 1981, while Staples, Hall and Golding were still in the group.
