The compilation was released as two separate vinyl albums (or cassettes), but they were sold as a single item, under the guise of "Part 2" being a free gift with "Part 1", a gimmick often used for compilation albums around that time.
The album should not be confused with an identically titled compilation issued in Australia in the same year by Ronco's rival K-Tel.
