Palmer's compilation of the best songs from his Island period
This compilation, released in 1992, is centered around the songs Robert Palmer recorded during his time with Island Records, and many of the tracks have been remixed or re-recorded.
This compilation album, which reconstructs Island's recordings, is notable for not simply lining up existing songs, but for reimagining the songs through remixes, re-recordings, and re-vocals. The album's unique character is exemplified by the fact that only two tracks, "She Makes My Day" and "I Dream of Wires," are included as original recordings. This editorial approach brings out the multifaceted musicality of the period from a different angle, resulting in a uniquely reconstructed best-of album.
