The album (Catalog number STML 12059) was released on the Motown label during the peak of the disco era and compiles some of the label's biggest dance-oriented hits. The tracks are known for their extended lengths, typical of vinyl 12-inch singles popular in clubs at the time, and are often presented in a continuous-play format without silence between tracks. A key feature is the inclusion of the massive disco hit "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston.
