The single CD version concentrates on the greatest hits of Deep Purple through the years, and contains mostly edited single versions of the songs, for example "Child in Time", which was over ten minutes long in its original form on the album Deep Purple in Rock. The double CD "Special Collectors Edition" is more in-depth, containing full versions of all the songs.

The album was certified Gold on 2 December 2005 by the BPI, selling 100,000 copies in the UK^[2] and reaching the Top 40. It peaked on the Australian charts at number 41.^[3]
