[edit] Overview
Disc one gathers tracks from her first four albums: Portfolio, Fame, Muse and Warm Leatherette.
Disc two gathers tracks from five albums, an EP and a B-side single: Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing, Living My Life, Inside Story, Bulletproof Heart, Sex Drive and a B-side of the single Private Life, but is sorely missing out on her 1985 collaboration with Trevor Horn, Slave to the Rhythm.
