The album's content spans most of the band's career (at the time of its initial break-up in 1998), including songs from all of the band's studio albums released through Slash Records (1987-1997). The first disc collects 15 singles from the band's Slash Records career in chronological order. It features the most recognized hits and promos. The second disc has a handful of unreleased songs, B-sides, demos, and live recordings, which were chosen by Slash rather than the band themselves. Some of the notable previously unreleased material includes "The World Is Yours" and "I Won't Forget You".
There were three different versions that were put out for this compilation. Between the versions, the title and covers were altered.
The album art for the American release was the red question mark on black background, while the United Kingdom, European, Argentine, and Oceanian releases featured the Benny Hill art. The Oceanian double disc edition also had a "Limited Edition 2CD Set" sticker, as in other markets the bonus disc was not limited. In Europe, only a single disc edition was released. For this, the first five tracks off the second disc were simply added to the end of the compilation.
The album was originally titled Who Cared a Lot?. It had a different track listing and cover artwork, but only saw release as a promo.

Footnotes
All releases of this compilation contain the Slash Records version of "We Care a Lot" found on 1987's Introduce Yourself, rather than the one from the band's earlier independent 1985 album We Care a Lot. The album sleeves that describe the track as "Original Version" are therefore misleading, but originate from Slash Records later releasing a live version of "We Care a Lot" from Live at the Brixton Academy as a single in 1991.
