The album consists of Yamashita's songs mostly included on his previous six albums ranging from Circus Town to For You. The only song not included in any album is Amaku Kiken na Kaori which is only released as a single and a re-recording of Funky Flushin'. According to Yamashita, "Greatest Hits" is just a mundane joke that I thought of as a western music lover.[1] The original album release (RAL-8803) included Yamashita's biography, discography, and various photographs in the form of a booklet.

In 1990, BMG Victor told Yamashita of its plans to release the album, and it asked Smile[nb 1] to provide technical help for the project. Smile agreed, and in September 1990 the album was released (BVCR-2505) with the phrase "the only album authorized by Tatsuro Yamashita" displayed on the "obi strip". It was not until February 1991 that when Yamashita received a fan letter complaining that some songs of the album's 12 tracks were different from the previous versions. Claiming the record company had engaged in false advertising, Yamashita and his production company hired attorney Atsushi Naito, and in February 1991 they sent BMG Victor a cease and desist letter.[3]
Funky Flushin' was taken from the studio album Moonglow.
Bomber uses the sound taken from the 1980 compilation album Come Along and DJ Katsuya Kobayashi can once again be heard in the intro
Solid Slider was replaced from the 3 min. version to the 7 min. version from Spacy
Interlude B Part II from For You is included at the beginning before Your Eyes.
A settlement was made in 1995 and it was once collected from the store. All of those edits were fixed in the 1997 issue of the album (BVCR-1541) along with three bonus tracks.
