It sits between the albums Kaleidoscope, from 1980, and Juju, from 1981, and appears on Once Upon a Time/The Singles, released December 4, 1981 on Polydor in the UK and PVC in the original US edition, which reached number 21 on the UK album chart, spent 26 weeks there and went gold with the BPI. AllMusic's Steve Huey called that compilation a cohesive and essential overview of the band's edgy, influential peak.
