The Alice compilation was released in Continental Europe and Scandinavia in early 1986 after the commercial success of the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest entry "I treni di Tozeur", a duet with singer and composer Franco Battiato, and the following tribute album Gioielli rubati - Alice canta Battiato in 1985, including hit single "Prospettiva Nevski"; the cover picture is in fact from the same photo sessions as for the Gioielli Rubati album. The collection, which was the first career retrospective and also compact disc release with Alice, comprises material from her first four studio albums for the EMI label, Capo Nord (1980), Alice (also known as Per Elisa, 1981), Azimut (1982) and Falsi allarmi (1983), including hit singles "Il vento caldo dell'estate", "Per Elisa", "Una notte speciale", "Messaggio" and "Notte a Roma" and the set opens with her first duet with Franco Battiato, 1982's "Chan-son Egocentrique".
The Alice compilation is not to be confused with a similar eponymously titled compilation, first released by CGD/Warner Music in 1984.
