The songs have all been digitally remastered and also remixed from the original master tapes. The quality of the sound is much clearer than any collection before, however, the mixes can sound drastically different from the original versions, especially the songs recorded between 1964 and 1969. Having used the original elements from the original masters, the mixers were able to attain new recordings, with much clearer sounds, heavier bass and noticeably higher volume levels of the background vocals. Another peculiarity about several songs on this album is that they are longer than the original versions. The vocals and instrumentations are let go on until the musicians stopped playing and the girls finished singing, without fade-outs. These had never been heard before being issued on this album.

The UK version of the album uses different masters of lesser quality, and the remixing and mastering that is exclusive to this album are missing. Also, "I Hear a Symphony" and "The Boss" have been removed and substituted by "I'm Still Waiting" and "Chain Reaction," which were both solo #1 hits for Diana Ross in the UK.
