Context
Released in 2005, this compilation album comes during a period of relative quiet for Cinderella after their peak in the late '80s and early '90s. The band had not released a full studio album since 'Still Climbing' in 1994, making this collection a reflection on their previous successes while also reintroducing them to a new generation of listeners.
