Information
The album contains one track from every album the band have released over their 40-year career including live albums, the 1978 solo albums, as well as songs from compilations, the three instant live albums, which are commercially available for the first time and one unreleased song ("Reputation").
The album is the first released by the band since their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A limited edition Best Buy exclusive version was released that came with a T-shirt.
The Japanese edition features an exclusive track "Hell or Hallelujah (Live at Budokan 2013)".
Reception
Reception for the album has been mostly positive. In David Jeffries' review for AllMusic, he praised the album for being "filled with classics and desirable extras" but questioned the album's "odd one song-per-album rule" before finishing the review by commenting that "this is a triumph of format and the band's longevity, but not necessarily a knockout introduction".
