This album contains some rarities, such as "On Broken Wings", which was the B-side for the "Final Countdown" single, and two songs from the Prisoners in Paradise sessions: "Sweet Love Child" and "Yesterday's News".
The album was reissued in 2000 as 1982–2000, including the bonus track "The Final Countdown 2000" – despite negative comment on the remix from some of the band's members.
