The album became available on the German Amazon store in May 2013, shortly after the release of her latest studio album Rocks and Honey.[3] It is the first compilation album Tyler has released since Best Of 3 CD in 2011, and is the fifth 3CD compilation released in her career.

Content

All The Hits contains 36 tracks spanning a decade of Tyler's career, covering her global success with rock music in the 1980s and European success with soft-rock in the 1990s. Disc one consists mainly of tracks produced by Dieter Bohlen, her producer from 1991 to 1993, with the addition of internationally successful and Grammy nominated singles "Here She Comes" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart", released in the 80s. Discs two and three consist entirely of her 1980s recordings, including a duet with rock singer Frankie Miller and Tyler's cover of Janis Joplin's "Turtle Blues".
