Overview
The CD contains the band's greatest hits including their comeback hit "Maria", a UK #1 in 1999, as well as tracks from their latest studio album The Curse of Blondie, a new remix of "In The Flesh" and a mashup of "Rapture" and The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" entitled "Rapture Riders", which was a top ten hit on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2005. The DVD includes videos of seventeen of the band's greatest hits.
The compilation was initially released under Greatest Hits title with a sticker Sight + Sound on the cover. It was later internationally released as Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision in early 2006. The new version omits "X Offender" and "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear" on both the CD and DVD, but adds the music video for "Rapture Riders" on the DVD.
The digital version of the album further omits "Maria" and "Rapture Riders".
