celebrates the band's 25th Anniversary singles career starting in 1972 and contains all of ELO's 29 UK hit singles plus other single edits that either didn't chart or were hits in other countries. </p><p>All the songs included are reputed to be the edited <a href="/wiki/7%22" class="mw-redirect" title="7"">7"</a> single versions; analysis of the vinyl 7" singles contradicts the claim. For example, the intro/count-in of "Four Little Diamonds" was trimmed from the original 7", but included here; the intro of "Strange Magic" was shorter on the 7". </p><p>It is also the first ELO compilation to feature the song "<a href="/wiki/Across_the_Border_(Electric_Light_Orchestra_song)" class="mw-redirect" title="Across the Border (Electric Light Orchestra song)">Across the Border</a>" which was scheduled to be released as an EP track in 1980 but was withdrawn.
